It would appear that the U.S. is in an untenable position - between a rock and a hard place - in an inescapable debt trap - where the options are, at best, dire - hyperinflation or a deflationary depression! It would seem that all we can do is ride out the storm in a boat laden with gold. Words: 2283

The demise of America is on borrowed time - and the end game could be dire - unless YOU do something about it. Congress is a tool of special interests - not OURS!
