With that in mind, the thought of spending even more money to stock an emergency food pantry might seem a little overwhelming for some.

While the extra cost might seem like a burden, the fact is, we all need to have a stockpile of emergency food on hand at all times. Just one look at recent events, is enough to show you how easily our modern food delivery systems can be thrown out of whack. From natural disasters, to future events like further economic problems, the need to have a stockpile of emergency food and supplies is something we can’t ignore.

With the country over 16 trillion dollars in debt, and unfunded obligations that make the actual debt number about $120 trillion, it doesn’t take an economist to see that we are in for some major trouble in the months and years ahead.
