This is good news. It looks like only default will stop the liberal fascists from borrowing us into slavery. It is time now to split the country,repudiate the debt, and assign the debt to the elite political class who created it. Repeat after me: I refuse to allow the liberal fascists to enslave my grandchildren.

once the values hit 40% of the loans against the properties, the government (FHA) will own that also

Look to the Weimar to get a better idea of the game they are playing. Substitute our debts to China, Japan, the ME for the reparations Germany had to pay and how they nearly got out of having to pay them. The quote at the end is very telling too.
http://www.buyandhold.com/bh/en/education/history/2003/germany.html
In 1920, prices plummeted around the world in a great deflation. This price and wage deflation was reinforced by the economic policies of conservative governments. Germany’s new Weimar Republic inherited the vast burden of debt and the crushing weight of reparations. Add in the fact that tax revenues were low due to the weak economy, while the outflow of payments in gold-fueled inflation.
It also quickly became apparent that Germany would be unable to meet its reparation obligations. In July 1920 the German mark plunged dramatically as the Weimar government informed the Allies it could not meet the schedule of payments, but that it would continue disbursements of coal and other natural resources. With the U.S. pressuring Britain and France to repay their own war debts, the Allies grew all the more determined that Germany pay up. France’s new premier, Raymond Poincare, accused Germany of deliberately withholding payments and trying to force the Allies to make concessions by ruining its own currency.

I can see not wanting to put it into stocks. I recently ran into a group of ETF’s that are commodity based rather then stock.
An example is GLD, basically its a fund that owns gold, and you get to buy a chunk of it and can buy and sell during normal hours.
I have pulled cash out of the bank, got an ameritrade account, and purchased mainly GLD with the money.
I have done well with it, and expect it to continue doing well as long as the dollar continues to drop and central banks continue to purchase it.
Gold is traded almost around the clock, so I have had to wake up to a drop in value.
This is not advice, mearly what I have done to keep my spare change around.

“You know who understands this - Sarah Palin”
Anyone can pretty well see who the globalists own on both sides of the aisle by watching their reaction to Palin.
The globalists recognize that strong American ideals are the greatest inhibition to their agenda than anything else.
an energy independent America would literally and figuratively own the world. Her Constitution and people give the globalists fits.

Yes, and the number of shares issued for GLD and other gold etfs far exceeds the amount of actual physical gold reserves held by COMEX, so the entire PM etf thing is just another Wall Street, three card Monty screw job. Trade PM etfs all you want, but WTSHTF, don't think you'll be able to redeem them or use them to demand delivery of physical gold; you'll be left holding worthless paper.
Google: Comex. gold price manipulation.
http://www.fgmr.com/where-is-the-etfs-gold.html
Long read, but here's the money quote:
"People who might have otherwise bought physical gold coins or bars, but wanted the same thing with more convenience, could be misled into thinking that they are buying physical gold by investing in the shares of GLD. But given GLD's loose custodial controls, there is no certainty that the investor is actually buying gold bullion in the form of an exchange-traded security. They mayinstead only be buying paper (i.e., a promise to deliver physical metal, rather than the metal itself) because there is no possibility by independent auditing or other means to substantiate that the gold supposedly owned by GLD and stored in the BoE and other vaults (other than HSBC's vault) really exists. This mechanism thus provides the central banks managing gold's price with a tool to divert into paper promises the money coming from investors who otherwise think they are buying physical metal, thereby enabling these central banks to relieve the upward pressure we have been seeing on the gold price. Therefore, if you are intending to buy physical gold bullion, do not buy GLD.

If they did not want it to decline they would cut spending so yes but another thing is how much of your wealth is going with the decline. I think maybe what they are doing could backfire and cause the disorderly decline. I hope I am wrong.
“I believe deeply that it’s very important for the U.S. and the economic health of the U.S. that we maintain a strong dollar. We bear special responsibility for trying to make sure that we are implementing policy in the U.S. that will sustain confidence not just among American investors and savers but investors around the world that the U.S. will fix its budgetary problems as its economy improves.” - Tim Geithner
Sure Tim
