True. The whole economic system (based on fiat currency and fractional reserve banking) has been doomed to crash for a while now, at least since 1971 when Nixon cut us completely loose from gold so as to fund the Vietnam War, and an endless string of needless wars thereafter.
AMEN, except it began in 1913 when currency management was turned over to the private banks who destroyed our good solid gold backed dollar and by 1933 turned our money into debt in the form of federal reserve notes. A trillion is almost beyond comprehension.


So where is your money? Bags of bullion under the mattress?
