Here’s how the USA can stop this crap. End Socialism! Make people responsible for their actions. Let old people eat dog foot to survive. Until then just embrace the fact that your fellow citizen will bail you out for your terrible decisions in life.

Compound Interest is the 8th Wonder of the World.

I thought it was tax-free municipal bonds. Especially the double-A rating.

[Mogger]

I just keep increasing my income, staying well ahead of inflation at 71 so far.

Here's a way that Americans can stop this crap: save sound money. Buy silver and/or gold (whichever you can afford).
You get to spend money (well, currency) but you're actually saving money (sound money).

If I can ever figure out how to add a tagline to my profile, it will probably be something like that.

Municipal bonds Ted, I’m talking double A rating. . .
the best investment in America.

Yep. That's why I asked.

Bitcoin is better. It isn’t able to be controlled by the gov’t at all..well except if they outlaw it because they can’t control it.

[chud]

Or buy both, (PMs and Bitcoin).

[for-q-clinton]

Except the deep state is suppressing PMs. They can’t supress Bitcoint without taking the sheets off.

*when ever you post a reply; you can the add, adjust, change, delete, ignore your tagline.

[chud]

Except the deep state is suppressing PMs.

Yes, they are. But they can't do it forever. And eventually, they'll decide to go on the other side of that trade (or the market will decide it for them with a short squeeze). That makes now the time to buy.

They can’t supress Bitcoint without taking the sheets off.

They're already starting. Blackrock owns 5% of MicroStrategy. Wall Street has made Bitcoin ETFs.
The writing is on the wall.

I have yet to see a Welfare Recipient thank an American for giving them (at gunpoint) their hard-earned money.

Because we aren’t willing to allow old people to eat dog food to survive. Until then we can’t really fix the issue.

[chud]

Until then we can’t really fix the issue.

They'll fix it when they have to fix it (one day when the gov't budget implodes).
