<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bluesboy65, post: 1083355, member: 23329&quot;]Rono, first of all thank you for your service.&nbsp; Second I like how you break it down! One thing I would add to your $14T of debt section, I agree with the danger of the unfunded liability point and I will be shocked if the new congress is actually able to change any of that but I do commend those who are giving it a go.&nbsp; Oh, the thing I would add, if interest on the 10 year rises 1% our interest payments to foreign gov&#039;ts will increase by about $100B annually.&nbsp; Just the interest, that does not include principle.&nbsp; Planned budget deficits are about $1.25T in fiscal 2011 and $1T plus for the out years as well.&nbsp; A few billion here a few billion there, it starts to add up!&nbsp; Bottom line with our current debt level we are highly impacted by inflationary pressure in the bond market.&nbsp; Your second paragraph is also golden, some practical common sense advice from a guy who&#039;s probably seen it all.&nbsp; That&#039;s why I&#039;m long silver and gold; plan for the worst, hope for the best!</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p><br /></p><p>Bluesboy65[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
