4) value the gold at Fort Knox at the current ~$4,000 ‘oz up from the current valuation of merely $40/oz
I have heard ‘balance sheet’ adjustments in the recent past by the administration. Mark to market of gold would be one piece of it. The move to privatize sundry acres of federal land I have read is as much as 150 trillion
Is that the only room we have left to run up the debt of confidence we will pay it back is needed?
I also think it is an EU/NATO play against the US. We are not playing nice as globalists and Trump’s recent outburst about rates being lowered or he will raise tariffs on every nation we are at a trade imbalance doesn’t show a willingness to share with other kids in the sandbox.
