Nervous Time

Shooting the political messenger: Can the Senate be held? Looming clashes. Going broke. MacArthur's return reconsidered. Plus more.

(Page 5 of 10)

: /p>

Please. You don't need "several carefully calibrated computer analyses" to show "how the promise to provide many trillions of dollars to today's citizens -- of which $67 trillion are unfunded -- would spell disaster in years to come." The mental arithmetic the good nuns of the Sisters of Charity taught me many years ago in 7th grade would suffice.

p>And yes, the "disaster to come" is call bankruptcy. And because the odds are good that 1) the political resolve to void this fate is not there and 2) we will arrive at this bankrupt state by first gong through inflation and/or currency devaluation(s), prudent people will devote a certain percentage of their portfolio to gold. br> -- Peter Skurkiss br> Stow, Ohio /p> p> How could America be going bankrupt? Every time I max out a credit card, I simply get another one. br> -- David Govett br> Davis, California /p> p> LET ME RESPOND
