Aaah, the stories I could tell; of a newly appointed "Exec" viewing his/her near-finished Office, having his/her Aid measure others' Offices (for Square Footage) for comparison and demanding the reconstruction of his/her's to get a Square-Footage that surpassed all underlings. Of the single "Exec." that had a personal Bathroom built off his/her office while the Building's "common" Wash-Room was just a few doors away. Aaah, the stories I could tell.
It's hard to argue Wiedemer's notes regarding 15 Trillion in National Debt. We're seeing the unraveling of the Greek and Italian economies/governments already, due to debt over 80% of GDP. It's hard to imagine that the U.S can sustain it's entitlement socialist position in concert with the huge servicing of the National Debt. The numbers are soo big that they make my head hurt. If our society realizes the trouble we're in and goes to work on the above mentioned problems like we went to work on winning WWII we might be able to turn things around without devaluing the Dollar but I'm not confident on that one. So, Gold is one place that your dollar's value is protected. So far!
