You think that Chief Justice Roberts is going to stop the federal government from looting your IRA?
One of the common memes in our racist-sexist-homophobe world is that Conservatism Inc. betrayed us. They never stood their ground, always caving to the libs, whether on race, on spending, on deficits, and now on election fraud, Chief Justice John Roberts.
But this assumes that we Americans are actually in control of our fate. You think?
SNIP
And so the Democrat strategy is to pile on more government loot by administrative trickery and Lawfare in the courts; they have to because nobody is going to agree to pay for climate change out of their Social Security or Medicare benefits. Republican strategy is to cut taxes and regulations and let the chips fall where they may. Because the net result of 40 years of Republican politics since Reagan is that real spending cuts are pie-in-the-sky.
Obviously, at some point, the game is up and the Treasury can’t sell enough bonds and the Fed can’t print enough money, and the American people flood into the streets demanding to keep their Social Security and Medicare benefits, and then government officials start investigating how to access your Fidelity and Vanguard accounts, not to mention your nice little hoard of gold coins and your Bitcoin stash.
Couldn’t happen here? Ask an Argentinian about the “Corralito” which began by freezing dollar denominated accounts and ended with Argentinians being forced to convert U.S. dollar denominated bank accounts into Argentinian pesos.

About your tag line. I agree that people who today think 2020 was horrible will be wishing they could go back.
Here’s a comment on the AT article posted by Dash Riprock that bears repeating:
“OK, so let’s speculate on our new post-Constitutional situation, shall we? Here’s what happens in the newly seceded nation of Texas. The original US Constitution and the rule of law is re-instated. The criminal USSC has no jurisdiction any longer over the affairs of a free Texas. All the banks and brokerage firms operating in Texas are now required to convert their citizens’ holdings to a new denomination, the “Texano,” which is backed by gold and therefore attractive to investors from around the world. This saves their citizens’ assets from being looted by the wholly illegitimate and tyrannical US government. Other states follow suit and secede from the now-defunct USA to enjoy the same freedom and liberty as the Texans, thereby leaving the corrupt and criminal states that choose to remain in the bedraggled and degenerate former-USA to go to hell. Wouldn’t that be great?”
The Big Steal is BIPARTISAN.
Bush League Republicans are tired of waiting for their New World Order.
Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose.....
Yup. I think that is what we are seeing with a lot of the Antifa brats. Wait until it hits the right full in the face. Except they are older, more serious, and quite well armed. This is one thing I was hinting at in my tag line. It won’t be just economic, but economic changes will be one of the drivers.
I totally agree! In Florida, we have a really good system for the IRA and I stayed with traditional also.
G & S coins aren’t cheap now, but I’m still buying more.
(March 2020 spot makes me cry, natch.)
I’ve been watching goldprice.org off and on for the last few months. It’s pretty high right now, but not at its highest in the last few months. In the next day or two all that could change.
When gas and milk are $10 a gallon, what’ll gold & silver be at?
Which is exactly why you should not do it. Personally, I'd tell 'em to go pound sand.
LOL!
LS has shown himself to have less credibility than bagster...and that’s damn hard to do.
They are all commodities. you won’t see gold sit idle while commodities triple in price. At the end of the day, they all just reflect not their value, but the value of the dollars they are measured in.
I have the option of retiring with 20 yrs of NYS retirement benefits, however having working in the private sector for most of my career. I am 60 yrs old, not irreplaceable, however I am the only one who wants to do the distasteful job of supporting the software and servers for the county’s 911 system and (unpopular) sheriff and his dept. It is honestly like playing whack a mole and the user population is less than savvy to put it mildly. Currently I come into the office to do hands on hardware issues (imaging from W7 to W10)
I had originally planned, had the President been in until 2024, to go back to my original career (which I was forced out of due to my former gov’t employer’s persecution; I was a whistleblower for fraud) of real estate, obtain a RE license once again, become a broker and do property management but now not so sure.
Hubs has his own job but obviously health care plan will be lost until I turn 65; he is stb 53 so has a much longer wait and has shoulder problems from years of working in construction. His ex-shrew is still on the payroll as his youngest is not yet 21 (yep “child” support goes to 21 automatically here in blue NYS).
We have one rental property duplex (with the eviction moratoriums, kind of shaky; not planning to buy any investment property other than to flip) and we still have a mortgage payment on our own house.
WWYD?
NYS will not be a good place to be. NY and CA will be the tip of the spear for the “new” future of communism.
yeah, I’m very aware of that, however I have a son in the AF and his expectant wife that live in Niagara Falls NY. We live between Rochester and Syracuse.
government officials start investigating how to access your nice little hoard of gold coins and your Bitcoin stash.
Not to worry, when you get hungry enough they’ll be glad
to cash them in for you...at what ever rate they set.
I have done lots of work in Rochester. I like NY except for the leftist government. Same for California.
