<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1482725, member: 22143&quot;]There was nothing said about the government running out of money.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hyperinflation, <u>by definition</u> is indiscriminate printing of money by the government.&nbsp;&nbsp; Hyperinflation is not possible if the government did run out of money.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The question is &quot;when does it start?&quot; (which I was responding to).&nbsp; It starts when interest payments on the debt exceed that of the economy to pay said interest.&nbsp; In a futile attempt to address the issue, the powers to be attempt to inflate their way out of the problem but it doesn&#039;t make any difference.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s pretty simple mathematics and happens to any system, monetary or not, when a system is grown at a constant linear rate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver has no monetary properties and you might even stand to lose wealth in a noninflationary environment.&nbsp; If it&#039;s true value is in industrial demand, and that demand falls off the cliff, then so does your wealth.&nbsp; &nbsp; Silver will only gain back its role as a monetary metal IF governments restate its value in terms of gold&#039;s value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
