there is no point in paying us all a dividend that we are eventually going to have to pay back .... WITH INTEREST.,

Err...no different than the recent $150B economic stimulus. It is always the problem with the Keynesian school of thought: Today is the best time for stimulus, tomorrow is the best time to pay it back.

Peter,

re: """My Mom asked who was going to pay for the bailout. I pointed to my two toddlers and said: "they are." <NG>"""

IMO, NOBODY is going to pay in CURRENT US dollars, it's all going to be monetized.. Our "dollar" will be worth 1/1000 of the current value when your toddlers are ready to start working and paying, unfortunately..:(

Which is GOOD, imo, for the failures and STUPIDITY of MOST of my generation.. Being led over the cliff by the lies that led us into these years of COSTLY and TRAGIC wars and financial disaster..

So, although I can not wrap my mind in the short term how to deal with it..

Here is a little bit of what we have done lately..

How We do protect ourselves in the long term by these measures:

Buy GOOD HARD stuff..

A damn new to us 07 MBZ,

More food and ammo...

Plus a new 357...

This will cost so much more in the NEAR future..

When the debt will be reputiated back to zero..

With a debt holiday...<g,ng>

Good night...
