Historic Financial Collapse Underway?

You can't eat bullion. If the financial markets fail completely, and that's certainly a possibility, so will the tax base. When that goes, so does the government infrastructure. When we went into Iraq I stopped buying anything I couldn't either eat or barter and I'm not going to trade my eggs and vegetables for gold bullion. I live in a place that will never run out of food or water and can switch to a completely agrarian society within days; and that is exactly what might be required for a while in a few years. I hope not. But I am a student of history as well as science. The government has been cooking the books and the rest of the world sees that we are no longer in a position to impose our will. If Mexico decides to take California back next week, there is no one available to stop them. We have become Rome and sent our armies to the far lands while the senate bickers and does not care for the needs of the citizenry. History is about to repeat.
