Hang on to Your Gold

Another excellent article by SW Richmond.
It would take a politician of outstanding courage and foresight to honesty address the issues covered in this article with the American public.

Hopefully, one day we will have someone acknowledge the fact that we have spent our future and that all we have to show for it is a mountain of debt that we will bestow upon our children and future generations.


Americans have a history of overcoming adversity if we truthfully confront the issues. Maybe someday, someone will honestly tell us that there are no simple solutions and that the government cannot painlessly cover all losses.

Maybe someone will explain to us that yes, there will be hard times, yes, we will need to be frugal and work hard together and yes, eventually we will solve our financial crisis and put our financial house back in order.

Maybe someday, we will learn that a sense of material entitlement, allowed by easy credit does not create prosperity.

So far, I have only heard about bailouts and "stimulation".
