it's a long road to gold backed money from here.  We should be able to get there, but it's better that millions of people don't starve.  Gold is the long play.  Also it's the best play for karma (meaning US gold and silver COIN (that last part is important)).  Max Keiser/Alex Jones (types) are all rich, if you are not, ask yourself why?  How could they get so rich and we are not.  Remember buy an ounce of silver, crash JP Morgan Chase...Remember 5,000 DOW, 5,000 GOLD.    Get rich slowly and enjoy the journey.  If Trump takes the debt to $40 trillion, most likely he will pay off the debt with borrowed money...genius :)
