How the Treasury Bubble Will Burst and Why

Lots of opinions listed, but most are either "doom and gloom" or "BUY gold ads"...
I see change coming in these ways: (What's your view of our near (1-5 years) future?)

1. Issuing ALL NEW dollar notes that are MUCH harder to fake or forge... This in itself will allow the Govt. to recycle it's older dollars and also ask folks (think IRS) where they suddenly "got" large amounts of dollars! Given a short time frame in which to trade in old notes for new notes, expect to see MUCH under the table $wapping. Down the road, expect to see Global or Earth dollars that are mostly electronic but not before countries clean house and take yet another devaluation hit...

2. Inflation will occur, folks with Real Estate will continue to enjoy some security but not in the traditional way (long term holdings). For those that say that nobody will be able to buy real estate in the future, expect to see long term rental or lease that solve the short term problem of no down payment money!

3. Rural land will reduce greatly in value as folks re-populate our Cities in order to find jobs, save the cost & energy of commuting and just plain reducing the costs of living. Rural land will harder to police and crime will tend to move where the police don't patrol due to budget constraints.

4. The exception to #3 above, will be US island property (think Hawaii) which will increase in value because it will become the very safest haven for Americans to live under American law, plus it can easily be policed and or insulated from Mainland US/World due to it's location.

5. Health will become THE most important issue after Energy and Food, as folks begin to take charge of their own health because public dollars refuse to fund welfare care for those that abuse both themselves & the new health system!

6. Electric generation & grid improvements will usher in the electric vehicle for inner-city use and gasoline cars will be mostly phased out as folks get paid to upgrade/buy more efficient cars made by the Govt. supported auto makers.

See you then!
