The US gov is destroying wealth at an unfathomable rate and it is our wealth being sucked away if we as people keep our word to the foreign holders. If we default then it is their wealth being squandered. Between the Fed and the brightest 500 leaders in universe I think we are already in deep trouble.

1. Rule change mark to market gone, balance sheets magically repaired

2. CDS intervention and transparency returns

3. bad assets returned to banks with "new value" government debt goes down, dollar rally

4. house buying incentives added, zero down etc. "because this is no time to act fiscally prudent" The sheeple buy it and gleefully charge up their accounts

5. Obama and the dems claim victory for the success of
the liberty confiscation act and demonize the repubs for standing against it



6. Obama demands and gets elected for life.

Q. what happens to gold then?]]> Sat, 14 Feb 2009 11:49:20 -0500

However I buy gold, keep, each and every month, and I don't care what the current price is dollars. The absolute safest bet on a deflation scene is long cash. Why get cute?]]> Mon, 26 Jan 2009 09:08:53 -0500
