What I don't get is the increasing US spending while wanting to pay down debt, how will that ever work, aside from the talk who is willing to make the sacrifice, see state of Wisconsin, strong argument can be made for both sides, this may just be the start, changes to living standards are not easy to accept, most likely the can will be kicked down the street for someone eles to deal with, makes a case for gold appreciation to continue for some time
