And, BA, my response is about the same - Trust, but verify, and make some varying degrees of preparations that suit my comfort level with the proposed crisis situation just in case.
That idea of living lean to begin with has always had a special appeal to me anyway. I'd rather not be caught w/my drawers down so to speak, KWIM? If I can keep our basic lifestyle & financial committments in line w/worst case scenarios I'm hoping me and mine will be okay.
What was the Y2K saying? Hope for the best, but plan for the worst. Hopefully the fallout will float out somewhere near the middle or be a non-event.
