The video above calls out some huge banks like Bank of America, and assertively suggests that people remove all of their money from these big banks, and also that people build an "impenetrable wall of privacy" around their finances, because the government will be coming to get those assets as well!
“THERE IS NO MEANS OF AVOIDING THE FINAL COLLAPSE OF A BOOM BROUGHT ABOUT BY CREDIT EXPANSION. THE ALTERNATIVE IS ONLY WHETHER THE CRISIS SHOULD COME SOONER AS A RESULT OF A VOLUNTARY ABANDONMENT OF FURTHER CREDIT EXPANSION, OR LATER AS A FINAL OR TOTAL CATASTROPHE OF THE CURRENCY SYSTEM INVOLVED”

2. Borrow more, bailout more, stimulate more, go deeper, and deeper, and deeper into the abyss trying to soften the blow. Delay the inevitable until none of us are around to account for our actions, and let our children and grand-children bear the responsibility of rebuilding our nation.
Personally, I wouldn't feel like much of a man, or human being, if I knew that I was leaving such a terrible, chaotic, and stressful future for the next generations to handle.
Personally, I'd like to cut up the government credit card today. As the video in the OP says, cut the spending 50% today. Cut the entitlements 50% today. It is going to hurt...... a lot. We will suffer, but 5 years, 10 years from now, we will be emerging as a growing economy and a re-emerging global power house, and something to be proud of for our kids to take the reigns.

Visit the Survival forum. Bug Out Bags (BOB), Everyday Carry Bags (EDC), and good stuff like paracord, fishing line, tobacco, water purifiers, plain condoms to use as water bladders or tourniquets. The survival forum has it all.
I've got a surgical kit, a snakebite kit, syringes, knives, fire starters, compas, and more in my little BOB, and mine is puny compared to some of the ones on ATS.
As if the economic outlook wasn't bad enough, a thread just popped up saying Glenn Beck might be running for President. That would zap all Ron Paul's energy and momentum and ensure a Romney or Gingrich nomination. What a dam disaster.

As someone who got screwed on the housing bubble...like many...even a program to bail us out would have been nice.
3) TARP was bipartisan. More Democrats voted for it than Republicans in both chambers, but the level of bipartisanship in the TARP vote was pretty much unprecedented for such a controversial piece of legislation. In the House, 171 Democrats and 91 Republicans voted for it. In the Senate 40 Democrats, 33 Republicans and 1 Independent voted for it. See the full roll call details here — Senate and House.

go ahead and spend your money on doom and gloom. I hope you get use of those things when you go camping somewhere. The only DOOM AND GLOOM is that U.S.A is being swindled and raped of it's well being. MY
