Ridiculous. Buying gold will have zero effect on Obamacare, but will improve the profitability of Chinese gold mines.
The ballot box will defeat Obamacare.
I’m buying ketchup on a hunch.
Works for me! "Cloward-Piven" works both ways. I believe well armed, independent, hard working and self-sufficent Americans will win in the end. Progessives will be scattered by their own grenade.
“Either path will bankrupt the state and end the forced march to socialism.”
I can get behind that. Oh, wait. I already am, LOL! :)
I’ve been in gold and silver for over a decade now. It has been very good to me. :)
Amen to that. :)
H ketchup as a hedge...I have 10 bottles in a bunker with a case of Bud Ice, vintage 2010.
Does buying silver have the same effect???
I remember Moe Howard of the 3 Stooges, in an interview, saying back when he was broke he would order hot tea for a nickle and make himself tomato soup from the free ketchep and salt on the table, then take the tea bag home.
I keep that up my sleeve for when times get tuff.
Will Not buy Heinz Ketchup.
Bought W Ketchup before the First Bailout.
Will Not buy W ketchup now.
I guess it’ll be Ranch from here on in.
yes it does, buying gold means you’re not saving your wealth in the fiat money that is used to fund obamacare
it should, anything but USD should have the same effect to starving the beast, which is the government
how do you think they fund obamacare?
ROTGLMAO!!!
I’m grateful to have good dirt to grow my own food.
I recall the Howard interview.
The only thing I can add to your post is that if you can live “thin” in “fat” times, the “thin” times really ain’t too bad.
I’m betting on it.
I hope so, that’s what I’ve been buying, old junk silver. A little here and there, it adds up pretty fast. My father gave me one gold coin years ago. It’s a little smaller then a dime, the thing is worth over $300.
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
Notice it does not say print money. It says COIN money. Nor does Article 1, Section 8 anywhere say that Congress has the authority to delegate to any third party the power to print money.
So Congress would be perfectly within it's enumerated powers to say that "one ounce of gold shall be worth 1,000 US dollars", but that's all. Nowhere does the authority exist for Congress to permit the printing of "money".
Words mean things, people. Pay attention.
That’s why they had to pass the 16th amendment..
And just for the record, those are “Federal Reserve Notes”...
And just for the record, where exactly in Article 1, Section 8 is the authority given to Congress to create a Bank? If you can point it up to me, well, you'll win a very valuable prize.
