Dollar vs. Gold - Can We Trust This Change?

Just make sure the water isn't stored in a plastic bottle, we may find it leaches chemicals into the water in the next 20 years. :-) And spam? Don't touch that stuff. We don't even know if its food fit for human consumption, lol. I wouldn't feed it to a dog. LOL. (I was joking in my previous comment, but hey, what the heck, let's have some fun with this!)

LOL. Yeah and I get your gist. Some ammo used to be $.10 a round and is now over $1 a round. lol.

Lathrop, you wrongly treat curbs in like he's a nutcase. What if he was merely saying that buying canned food, ammunitions, firearms and water is a good store of money - a hedge against further price increases.

Historically, go look at the price of ammo 20 years ago... and you would see it was a brilliant investment had someone bought a bunch to store and sell today - or if you think the price will go up higher - sell later on. Same goes for food prices, guns, water, etc, etc... The dollar is going down in value each decade and almost any real asset you can buy is worth more today than it was in the past - at least in dollar terms. The same can be said for gold.
