A new sense of urgency

Does anyone else have a renewed sense of urgency lately that something is about to happen? I havnt felt this way since 07/08 when I started prepping. I went today and picked up 50 5gallon buckets with lids for more food storage, etc. Anyone think after QE "ends" at the end of the month we may see a deflationary crash again to scare the congress to raise the debt ceiling and thus continue more QE? Just a thought
