As Apple puts on every one - &quot;Designed in California / Made in China&quot;. Try to find anything at Wal-Mart made in the good &#039;ol USA. Not even the produce is from here.</p><p>We call people with 30-year mortgages &quot;homeowners&quot;, and they will never fully own their homes - even if they stop siphoning the equity out of it because they will still have to pay $4,000+ per year to the government to live in their homes.</p><p>As Charles deGaul said in 1965, the people of the US have lived off of the rest of the world because Bretton-Woods gave them paper almost as good as gold. Nixon had to stop that in 1971 because everyone understood that he was right.</p><p>It is just a matter of time until the FRNs are understood to be what they really are - pieces of paper with a promise that can&#039;t be kept.</p><p>If silver goes to $500/oz., people that have some won&#039;t be rich. But they&#039;ll have something worth more than a Zimbabwe $100,000,000,000,000 note.</p><p>Every empire has its glory days before they crumble from within. This one won&#039;t last as long as the Roman Empire - things happen a lot faster now in the computer age.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
