<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1336096, member: 22143&quot;]You don&#039;t have any worries.&nbsp; &quot;Stimulus&quot; is a euphemism for taxing the public and then handing over the proceeds to a select segment of society to do something, hopefully positive, with it.&nbsp;&nbsp; In essence it&#039;s taking wealth from one part of society and handing it to another.&nbsp;&nbsp; In other words it&#039;s government picking the winners and losers in an economy,&nbsp; but when has this ever worked?&nbsp; &nbsp; The Soviets learned this, and every single &quot;stimulus&quot; scheme that has been tossed out over the last 5 years has failed to do anything.&nbsp; Bush $100 checks, Cash for Klunkers, TARP, First Time Home Buyer giveaway, etc etc etc, only serve to protect the entrenched interests and political donors.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>and solutions to fix the economy won&#039;t be coming from the government, or from that secret meeting room of old men who never held a real job in their lives otherwise known as the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.&nbsp; Creation of Boom/Busts.&nbsp; However, the Fed has blown its wad and has nothing left.&nbsp; There isn&#039;t much that can be done once they reduce interest to 0% except to deceive, obfuscate, change rules, and lie in hopes of kicking the can far enough down the road while waiting for a miracle.&nbsp; It will never come because there is nothing left now but bust.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Raising interests rates, significantly, is one of the things that should be done to fix the issue.&nbsp; They won&#039;t do this because it will destroy a number of TBTF institutions and force people to live within their means.&nbsp; No politician will support this because the current generation has been taught to believe that free credit is a &quot;right&quot;.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So IMO, gold and silver continue to be very good <u>long</u> positions to take but only if you take physical control of it.&nbsp; MF Global should be a clear warning that when you let the banksters hold your stash, they will run off with it and the government doesn&#039;t care.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
