Military isn't the only budget cut. There are also cuts in non-defense discretionary spending. Social Security was on the table , but that has since been pulled.

I have a tube radio in my house. Other than that, not much else to do. Though I find the likelihood as possible as any other attack.

Only thing you can do to prepare for EMP (which is operational) is to use nothing with a computer chip. Make sure your getaway vehicle is a Sherman tank with no electronics.....
