Canada seems like a pretty good balance..... they seem to have maintained fiscal discipline in their government and banking system, relative to most developed countries. If the US economy does well, so does Canada, however with their natural resources, there is some inflation protection built...

It has to be tough to sell bailing out dead beat countries like Greece, Spain, etc to your voters. Even if it makes sense for Germany to hold the EU together, it may not be politically feasible.

So if you look at said commodity chart during a collapse, then we have massive deflation? I don't think looking at two or three commodity charts tells much beside the price action of said commodities. I don't really follow cotton very often, but I do know that clothing prices have been...

These liberals live in some sort of weird fantasy land. I really can't explain it, but clearly they either have no clue on some of the basic fundamentals of economics, or they are trying to hurt our economy. It's probably a little of both.

What a f'ing retard this guy is.

I've always cracked up the whole "multiplier" thing.

Spot on post.

Typical "gold bug". Always resort to the "you're a clueless sheeple" line as your argument. I'm quite secure in my understanding of capitalism and finance as I am a managing partner in a multi-million dollar company. When we need financing, we ask for $USD. When we sell our goods to...

I'm not going to get into the gold standard debate, because we're not likely to change each other's mind. Who do I support? Well, typically the most conservative person in any given race (Dem vs Rep). I live and vote in Missouri, but I also send money to support congressional...

So you have to advocate the gold standard and support Ron Paul to be conservative?? Please don't define me, because you don't know me. I will guarantee there are few on this board that have donated more money than me to conservative candidates and advocacy groups. Just because I don't...

Ron Paul is a quack, and I say that as a strong conservative. Anyone that believes that we should institute the gold standard, loses a lot of credibility, IMO.

I travel a lot as well and overall, I have been treated pretty fairly by TSA. I've seen a few stupid things, where an elderly women, or a soccer mom with 3 kids are singled out and given special attention. That kind of activity is wasteful and unproductive. The TSA should use profiling as...

Why is it that crack pots are drawn to this forum? It seems as though 80% of the people here believe that if the Fed were abolished and we went to the gold standard, all things wrong in the world would magically become good. Better, yet, maybe we should go back to trading sea shells and...

Actually it's Scottsdale (where the money is at) and Tempe (Arizona State if you're looking for a younger crowd) within the Phoenix area. I guess it's the weather and I believe there are a lot of hot women that transplant there from all over the country. Also, I do think they get a lot of...

You've obviously not been to Texas if you think the girls aren't attractive. They are 10x better than Cali and there isn't even a comparison to the dogs in NYC. Phoenix is the only city in the US that could challenge Dallas/Austin in terms of attractive women.

I don't see how Soros owning or even buying more gold precludes him from believing that it's also a bubble.

I guess there just aren't enough people here in the US that want to pay $30k for a motorcycle.:confused:

I'm not sure why everyone is so worried about a little dollar devaluation when we are a net importer. This doesn't seem like the end of the world to me.

Sell that EWZ!!!

That sounds pretty reasonable to me :p
