Okay, that’s a great answer. But you do know that it will not be coming back to you to the same degree a private investment, of the same money, would have. More to the point, though, what little you will get back will be in the form of a check from the U.S. Treasury. Are you going to cash that check?

It is my money to start with and I want it returned in gold.

It is not "income" or a "salary."

All of those jerks running get a welfare check every month from some government entity - EXCEPT Mitt Romney.

Split hairs all you want...
