Don’t buy (physical) gold, because the feds are probably confiscate it soon, and this time, they’re not going to just take your bullion and coins. Hope you didn’t buy that wedding band with a credit card, or you should have went with the ceramic crowns.
“...the feds are probably confiscate it soon...”
Then its time to assemble the militia on Lexington Green again.
Lead and brass protect the gold. Attempted theft will result in bloodshed - theirs.
Nope.
Back in the 1930s with FDR was a different time. People back then trusted their government, while today not so much.
Back then people (even Republicans) felt that “if President Roosevelt believes turning my gold will get America going again, then by golly it is my duty as an American to turn in my gold”.
Nobody would feel that way today if Obama tried to confiscate gold, not even Liberals (though no doubt they would be highly supportive of other people turning in their gold).
It would just cost the government too much to try and find and collect everybody’s gold.
Also there’s something today the FDR didn’t have, 401Ks.
Instead of going all throughout the country trying to hunt down gold, it would much easier for some IRS bureaucrat in Washington to just withdraw all Obama needs with just a few strokes of a keyboard.
