Better get those ankle gripping practice sessions up to 2 or 3 a day. BOHICA!!

Some of US have been trying to tell you what's coming but some of YOU respond with derisive, smart-alec retorts and laughter.

Laugh away!!

I think we’re closer to a pre-French Revolution style economy. More people buying things they can’t afford with credit. The more credit they get the more they buy and they will never be free from their debts.

ALL fiat currencies eventually ALL go to zero.

Whether the dollar, Yen or Pound (etc.). They all go to zero as it is in the government's best interest to inflate away all government debt.

Some will do it much slower than others, but all will do it.

Weimar inflation has arrived in America.

Really?

The US dollar has gone from 1.5 per Euro to 5,000 per Euro?

“Weimar inflation has arrived in America.”

Not even close. The Germans were spending $64,000 marks for a loaf of bread.

” The more credit they get the more they buy and they will never be free from their debts.”

....my wife taught college with fellow professors who were still paying on their student loans....and these were people in their late 30s who were still renting because they couldn’t afford a house.

I didn't even read the article... I just scrolled down to see which gold bug was responsible for it.

According to many freepers, the economy is doing great. At least that’s what I heard...until recently, then I stopped hearing all the cheerleaders.

Nice picture of you. Was it taken by one of the attendents there at the institution? You know — the guys in those clean, white coats?

I wouldn’t leave that wheel barrow unattended for too long as it is probably worth more than the cargo.

“Probably everybody”? You must have missed the remarks after Barack’s speech at Wesleyan.

No, silly. It’s not a photograph, it’s an etching. I sat in a chair real still* while the attendant hand carved a woodblock, which he then dipped in ink and pressed on parchment.

Nevertheless, as stark raving crazy as I happen to be... I’m still light-years more sane than any 5h!t 4 brains GOLD BUG.

*It wasn’t hard to sit still, as I was in a straitjacket.

“ravages of inflation”

I thought inflation for last year was only 4.1% and this year only 4.5%?

Tell you what, FRIend, if you really believe that, I have an old contractor grade wheel barrow that I’ll be happy to sell you for as many dollar bills as it takes to fill it up.

I just put a new inner tube in ‘er and everything?

If you act now, I won’t even make you heap ‘em up like in the cartoon. Just fill it level.

Will you put your money where your mouth is? Hmmmmm?
