You and me both. I have lately been telling my kids repeatedly, "the Democrats are STEALING our money." They give me weird looks, and I try to explain that because Democrats have been raising government spending, and routing it through their friends, associates and supporters as much as possible, it has a devaluation effect on existing money, meaning money loses value every year this insanity continues. (Overly simple, I know, but they wouldn't understand the more complex aspects of what is occurring. :) )
I have been quite aggravated in looking for alternatives. I see the stock market as a "no mans land" and real property holds no appeal for me. (If we have a financial collapse, your paper deed will not secure your property anyway.) Gold was a good idea several years ago, but buying it now is locking in loses already suffered.
Anyway, I have a few ideas which I am implementing currently, but beyond that I wish there were some way to jettison dollars from my assets. I do not trust that they will be worth much of anything in the near future. As a matter of fact, the notion just occurred to me that we may very well have another meltdown just prior to the election just as we did in 2008, and it is my belief that *THAT* meltdown was intentional and contrived by those seeking to boost Obama into the Presidency. (McCain was leading decisively till this occurred.)
I think if such a thing occurs again, I would not want to be holding very many dollars after the late part of summer.
