Well surprise, surprise! Republicans turn out to be the biggest socialists the USA has ever known. Corporate socialists that is. They don't blink when bailing out their cronies in the banks with trillions of US$'s, but when it comes to looking after the people - you know, the taxpayers, those who are gouged by these corporate bailouts - then Republicans throw a hissy fit, wrap themselves in the flag, and scream 'You communists!' at the Democrats.
I stand in a hundred percent agreement with billvancouver72. also we should purchase pure silver & other precious metals. never forget valuable minerals either, there's always diamonds, rubies, emeralds, etc. get your hands on time tested, tradable commodities.
Gold has very little utility, as its main purpose (or the reason it's price is so high) is jewelry, the demand for which will decline in the face of a major economic breakdown. It's demand, and thus it's price, has been artifically inflated over time based on societal demands, and thus its price is not relative to its true utility.

Buying gold is not a bad idea, Gold has actual value, our dollar bill is just paper with some writing on it, and since our government just prints more and more money, the "worth" of the dollar is declining.
dont forget its used in almost all electronics, and nasa uses it for sun shields. the amount of gold in jewelry doesnt come close to the amount of gold in electronics.
@maxmidget1 Looking at this 11 months later, I am still firm to believe that gold would be a major economic utility that will be used in an economic breakdown. What else would there be to trade if the price of money is so overinflated, and pretty much worthless? They did it back in the days when there were no coins or paper to be called money. I am not saying that this was the only source of trading they did, but it did have an impact when you wanted to buy something from someone else.
