I posted on another thread yesterday morning about the dire financial state we are in. There are far too many that are not taking this seriously. The one response I received to my post yesterday informed me that there were meds I could take to help me.
So I’m leery of saying anything more on the subject. Being ridiculed is not what I am here for.
I’ll say it one more time though. The situation is far more dangerous to Americans than the most of them realize.
But what the heck, I’m just a crazy gold bug, whose stock portfolio was up 5% today and 4% yesterday.

Sure we poke fun, but we also get into some kind of survivable position if we can. Will it be enough? Possibly not. Don’t panic, and afterwards nobody will remember those who warned any more than those who said it is paranoia anyway.

There are many on this board that think this financial mess is a product of the Democrats during an election year.

What they don't talk about is the fact that Democrats govern by taxing the daylights out of the middle class and "rich", while the Republicans love to put the printing press into high gear to churn out money and devalue our currency - while talking about how they're not raising taxes.

Let's face reality...

BTW - I've been a Republican longer than a number of you have been alive.

OK, so things are turning to sh**. Creating panic doesn’t help them. Telling people all the banks are about to fail is a sure way to stir up panic withdrawals in a self-fulfilling prophesy of runs on the banks.

Dang...9% growth in two days amidst this mess?
Congratulations!
I am an anomaly I suppose. Young Conservative who is too poor to have any investments. Hopefully, I will have the means to get in low sometime soon.

I'm afraid that printing the money to bail out all these capitalists will cause a collapse of the dollar, and no one will want to buy our bonds. Is that possible, or am I just an ignorant housewife ?

I hope you have some of that gold in your pocket-—not just on paper!
