Yea, I heard Beck say that and I thought, what a jerk. Morally, I couldn’t do what he does, sell gold as an investment. That’s a total and complete rip off. As if the economy goes to ground and I’ll just go down to Publix with my gold certificate or my gold bar, chip off a little for some bread. He risks discredits much of what he says because the more people believe him that we are heading to Armageddon, the more gold he sells…how nice. We are heading for a mess but that will lead us to a more barter type system with fed/state revenuers getting in our business. That’s what long term unemployment is doing. For example, a small business guy needs some help, a friend or relative who is collecting unemployment will work under the table for 6 – 10 dollars/hr. Win-win till we get in and straighten things out. Please don’t leave our wounded and dead on the battle field.
God will not forsake me. Even if I have zero money I have the basic skills and equipment to live in the woods (although I will have to squat on government land...but hey, it's my land too!) I will get through this and I have not despaired...and I don't begrudge Beck his selling of gold even though I don't have the money to buy any. I haven't worked under the table for money, although I'm beginning to wonder at the ethics of it when it's the federal and state governments that are causing the economic problems.
