Its going to be totally different this time around as our money was based on silver and gold back then.

 

Interesting article about gold prices from 1900 to today...

so we're in agreement on where we are heading.

 

Yes, but you must remember that the US can change the rules of the game whenever it feels like it.

 

It would be totally irrational to base a price assumption in today's non gold standard-fiat money economy than it would back when we were under the gold standard!
Simply no comparison...the economic policies of modern times is much more manipulated today than back in the depression era.

So is that a part of that "change" campaign I was hearing about? ? ? :whistle:

 

If it is, I think getting "change" back just might be out of the equation. lol
