<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1274829, member: 22143&quot;]This is what I meant by disruptive changes to the financial structure of the USA.&nbsp;&nbsp; Dont expect this anytime soon. </p><p><br /></p><p>Too much cheap credit destroyed the economy.&nbsp; It began with the dot-com boom and then jumped to real estate.&nbsp; All while we were exporting our only wealth creating part of the economy, manufacturing, to other countries.&nbsp;&nbsp; So how do they attempt to fix a problem caused by too much cheap and irresponsible credit, oh, by making it even cheaper and more irresponsbile (goverment now takes the risk).&nbsp; If it were a hollywood script nobody would believe it, yet here we are an entire nation suffering from mass delusion because nobody can accept the fact &quot;we&quot; have been living in a financially unsustainable manner.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s pretty simply what caused the ongoing failure and pretty simple what needs to happen to fix it.&nbsp; Yet this isn&#039;t happening because it means drastic changes to the status quo and the status quo isn&#039;t ready to let go. </p><p><br /></p><p>The entire concept put forth by the mainstream media that we are nothing but &quot;consumers&quot; should be offensive yet it&#039;s so engrained in the consience now that we have holidays devoted to the concept.&nbsp; i.e. Thanksgiving-Black Friday, Shopping Monday, etc.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; These things didn&#039;t exist a generation or so ago.&nbsp;&nbsp; No economy can exist on consumption.&nbsp; It&#039;s production that produces jobs.&nbsp; Yet when do you hear them talk about that now?</p><p><br /></p><p>FDR&#039;s solution&#039;s of the 1930s were ineffective and led to a decade of more stagnation and they are being repeated again except that we have abandoned the good part of FDR&#039;s solutions.&nbsp;&nbsp; So in the long term, PMs will continue to be a good buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
