Welcome to Reality
Two years ago when I told everyone I knew that the United States was bankrupt and would ultimately default of its debt one way or the other (by inflation or restructuring) I was called crazy and dismissed by 95%+ of the people I met. These days many of the same people still think I am crazy when I say that a political, financial and intelligence elite which has now teamed up with large corporations is attempting to create a global currency and world government (with them at the helm of course), but the notion that the U.S. is bankrupt is now more or less mainstream. Even the corporatist/socialists in power are now unable to merely dismiss questions about the deficit. The public has woken up from its slumber of consciousness and is now starting to see things as they are.

That won't happen. Adjust for what the future will bring and then it won't seem so bad.

There is this little law. It says coming up this year. 30% tax on moving money out of the country. When this kicks in gold silver copper grain wood anything that can be bought will be and shipped out up to the brake even point on the tax. It is a tax on the trade deficit.

So gold is still going to go up. just my guess.

Daily predctions of the economic collpase return.

I love how in 2 years views haven't changed, people still believe that these statements about the collapse are insane, but what has changed is the paranoid fantasies about the conspiracies happening in the world have gotten worse. Usually worsening of syptoms is a good sign that help is needed.

QE III and IV If things were good we would need them. zero percent prime? Again if they were good we wouldn't need it.

So where are we headed? To returning economic bliss? fess up?

Economic stagnation with stagnant growth is my prediction. Doom and gloom? Try reality.
