Essentially, the issue is this: the government has promised people more money than it has or can morally claim title to. Someone is going to have to pay the price for the government's malfeasance. The only equitable thing I can see to do is divvy up the "pain" among workers and retirees.

That's the only way it's going to stop. The "other" way involves armed rebellion (which, again, I do not advocate)--but this is highly unlikely to happen since a good 50% or so of our countrymen don't understand what "Is" is.

Buy gold and silver now for the future. I can see the dollar not being worth the paper it's printed on in the future.

That's Stage I; in Stage II, we're IN the soup pot.
