Wyo. mulls "doomsday" bill in case of US collapse

Some Wyoming state lawmakers want to study the possibility of creating a state currency to prepare for the possible collapse of the national government. The so-called "doomsday" bill won initial backing in the state House on Monday after lawmakers dropped a proposal to study whether Wyoming should organize its own army and acquire an aircraft carrier and strike aircraft. The bill would set up a task force to study what the state should do in a range of catastrophes, including the possible political or economic collapse of the United States. Another potential disaster to be studied would be a disruption in food and energy supplies. The proposed study must pass another House vote before it could be sent to the Senate.
