I've got plenty of knowledge and experience of the world - having lived in several countries and visited a few more in my 53 years, thank you very much - and a bit of education as well, I might add.

Very good, Ken. Just right out of the playbook. Keep thinking to yourself that all is OK as you see your savings dwindle to nothing.
Let's try this...if you have kids. Why don't you go up to them tonight and tell them very softly and gently.... I am going to pass on all this debt to you. Tell them that they are going to inherit all of this massive $10 Trillion and sky-rocketing debt. Look into their eyes and lie to them. What kind of person are you , Ken? Are you a monster? Or just a very deluded American?

Remember that the price of gold, silver, and the value of the dollar are at all time records.
Trust who you want to, but do your homework.
Gold: $975
Silver: $20
Euro-dollar: .6591
National Debt: $9.3 Trillion
Unfunded Liabilities: $60 Trillion

I never said that everything is OK, I merely don't think it's part of secret plan by a secret society intent on destroying the US. In my opinion, that point of view is just plain nuts.

All very wasted education I might add. You must have been sheltered. You need to wake up and actually do some research. Let me guess. You must have lived on Military bases? Just a wild guess. I remember visiting them from time to time. Just like being in the US...the PX, iceberg lettuce. Not really like being in the foreign country....but almost.

If you would do your homework you would see that it actually has been a plan...just not so secretive. It doesn't have to be since most Americans are as clueless as you seem to be.

Well, my kids are both grown and long gone from the house. One of them is poor - but what else can you expect when you refuse to work - and the other has a great job, making even more than I do (and my income is pretty darned good by most people's standards).

Well...we're going to need brave people who stand up for their country. Unfortunately, I think that is probably going to count you out. Good luck to you and to your kids and family. I hope you are prepared.
