Actually 1933 was a very good year for gold.

Yeah. Note the high point in 1985-86, when Volcker destroyed the hopes of a generation for home ownership.

At 16% mortgage rates, the SOB made sure that no new buyers could get into the market.

Been there, remember that.

All in the name of killing inflation. Of course, in the process, he destroyed the economy, which only kept going because Reagan borrowed heavily for defense spending.

Yessirree, these guys is Big Geniuses.

A debt bubble popped, loudly, in 2007-2008.

All the central banks have been able to do is slow the fall of this Great Debt Deflation.

they slowed it so much that it has not completed it's killing of already dead wood.

It will bring down innumerable Sovereigns before it's done as very, very few can either pay or refinance their debt...which, coincidentally are held by the largest banks, by law.

The pyramid is collapsing in slow motion.
