 1. No, the government is exactly as fiscally short sighted as the majority of its citizens.
2.  Learn tangible survival skills, like how to work on a farm or fix machinery.
3.  I live in a city; at the bare minimum i predict increasing crime and decreasing quality of life.  At worst, widespread panic, disease and starvation.
4.  No, once the price of oil inevitably starts rising the stock market will implode.
