Everything I learned in my lifetime to date prepared me for an economic collapse and the opportunities that would be presented to anyone that possessed some liquid cash. I payed off all my debt and invested only in things that hurt when you drop them on your foot. I am now looking at a corrupt system that is able to slowly steal my savings by counterfeiting as much fiat money as it takes to rob me and everyone else of every last cent. Can you imagine a term deposit pays .45%. Can you believe the US Government is now suggesting that all the big pension funds be required to invest in Federal T-bills and long term bonds. So far the Harper government is saying all the right things and is refusing the globilist agenda,however I believe resistence will be futile as our economy is just too small to say no to the G-Men (G8 and 20) Today I decided I am going to spend the last of my fiat money A new truck, some home renovations, some more precious metal and maybe some more SGR. Maybe I can talk the wife into another motorcycle(big maybe).
