I agree with you ..mostly but they hang banksters and crooks. When Paulson and Bernanke and the bastards that ruined the financial system with derivatives are in jail or given the death penalty as they would be in China then maybe I'll change my mind and when the USA stops its fear mongering Message 25931999 and its war on its own people (not to mention others) then maybe I'll change my mind, not that anyone cares what I think anyway....but I'll defer once again to SOTB.. one of his best posts this week Message 25929187 BTW gold is probably up because ABX needs to buy physical in a big way to pay off its hedges

Imagine the US with 1.3 billion people .. far less resources, and a century of deprivation by foreign powers.. You could think of the US as the biggest lottery prize ever 'won' er.. well you know ;o) .. Hard to find a country with as much natural wealth overall.. and I guess the next 20 years will really tell the tale on how long that lottery win lasts.. or will it be squandered.. I wonder given the same circumstances .. would the US be much different ? Just what I see.. BTW China government is looking to placate the people and enrich themselves.. like any government ... just that they know that the cost of failure is not a fat pension and lecture tour so I'm not looking for them to be economic leaders of the world.. that would only be a byproduct if it ever happened.. not a priority :O) TBS.. features.csmonitor.com EDIT:.. yes I modified the post a bit on the lottery ... not that we can cast any stones from up here on that topic..
