the bankruptcy of germany brought us hitler. the bankruptcy of china brought us the communist party. the bankruptcy of argentina brought down the middle class into poverty. what will the bankruptcy of the united states bring? hold on, we are about to find out... my only response to anyone who is asking for govt largesse is, "what will you give up and why not start giving it up now to give the government a head start." of course, nobody wants to give up anything, they just want to get. that works, until it doesn't - then things get ugly. i hope silver and gold drop from here (and i think they will). however, i'm hearing about the "china put" where china will be at the bid on any dips. not sure how low it can go from here. it will also be interesting how the markets react to china saying f-you! to their underwater oil derivative contracts. i say, good on ya - the government sachs casino thieves need to get a taste of their own medicine.
