  • Landowners own the mineral rights to their property unless the land is protected/zoned. The sky above you is questionable - people should probably be responsible for pollution, etc. but it's really more of a commons as far as I know.

  • @Supralobe interesting!

  • Stop in there sometime on your way through and just have lunch in a local diner and strike up a convo with a local. You'll find interesting things.google the show DECODED on the History Channel. They just did an episode on Fort Knox sometime in October. It answers ALL of the questions you asked.

  • @SoulsurferWhit32 Whitney! Soooo nice to see you! How wonderful! I shoulda stopped to ask! Thanks.

  • lol at the end nancy where you serious?

  • Sadly we don't buy any gold for new dollars that get printed. Why do they even call it a treasury anymore? It's a debtery. A dollar used to be defined as 1/20 oz of gold, then they invented the Federal Reserve and now it's defined as nothing. This is one of the reasons we're all rooting for Ron Paul over here.

    The conspiracy I've heard is that all the "gold bars" are painted tungsten and they sold the gold to jpmorgan/goldman a long time ago.

  • We went off the gold standard in the 70's, even then the dollar was only partially covered by gold. We have switched standards 3 times over the past 100 years. Ft. Knox is a military base in Kentucky. Supposedly there is 147 million ounces there. Even at present value, that is only about 240 billion dollars. To put in perspective, the national debt today is around 60 trillion dollars, including social security and medicare witch people paid into and have been spent by our government.

  • @NancyToday okay!

  • Pretty much...the "GOLD" that was once "supposedly held" in Fort Knox... hasn't been there pretty much in @ 30 years. The last time anyone was ever in to look INSIDE was around 1973 or 74... Many locals that live there will help answer your questions.

  • @NancyToday i guess that's a no?
