>>My primary focus in life is gold, locating it, acquiring it cheaply, refining it, teaching about it, hanging on to it, observing its pricing in relation to the US$ policy, et al.

Then no doubt you know some things of interest and value...

>>PRODUCTIVITY has nothing to do with the coming dollar crises unless you are somehow making indirect characterizations of the fatheads who have made economic policy for decades, GLOBALLY!

I disagree. Simply you must sell more than you buy, for you cannot do the reverse forever... or your currency loses value and your standard of living drops.

And that is largely about the cost of what you sell vs others... which in large part is about "productivity"...

Happy holidays... may they be gold flecked and sparkly for you.

Best!

Why do you think, that it is not important to the U.S. economy, whether it uses 10% or 20% of GDP on health care? It's a lot of money, and it's the bottom of the pyramid. We're still at 8%, trying to avoid going higher by fighting tobacco, alcohol, obesity and inactivity. If we succeeded fully, we would probably end below 4% (My work is business intelligence in health care).
