To be fair, I know what he means. We have significant US dollar holdings in the form of Treasuries, bonds, TIPS, I-bonds, etc. I believe it is important to “give back” to such a great country and certainly don’t want to lose wealth.

However... given so much nonsense at the state, local, and federal level it only makes sense to maintain a diverse portfolio. We’ll keep our metals and our Ts. Have been “prepping” for long time, pre Y2K so it is very wierd to see all this stuff go mainstream. It all started as an instinctual feeling that not only was the US going down the wrong path in so many ways (by design, even) it was first hand observation that other countries would not play these games. I made it a habit, everytime I would boil over
at some egregious assault on my intelligence, to go buy a roll or two of silver, some gold, a bar, etc. Has proved to very profitable, and very good sleep insurance.

I no longer care. I just prepare.

Same here. Was just appreciating your timely humorous quip. BTW, I still have a substantial amount of my savings in CDs. Where would you recommend I move it to? I already have some gold and silver. I feel leaving my CDs in place might be a bad call.
