People who are buying real "things" like commodities, metals, land etc. (as opposed to paper instruments like stocks, bonds, dollars, treasuries), aren't betting against America.
They're betting against the central bankers, the corrupt international financial syndicate, the Obama administration, hyper-Keynesianism, collectivism, QE2, fiat currencies etc. etc. etc.
Buying hard assets or "things" is aquiring wealth. Keeping cash when it does nothing but get devalued buy people like Maobama and Ben Ber-snakey is objectively unwise.
Well said!
