LOL - The dollar is dead, according to several large investment firms. Our dear-old government has over spent the federal reserve, and the gold-backer that has been held so dear for so long.

Granted, trade prices of gold keep going up, and each US-dollar is supposed to be backed by a dollar's worth of gold in US currency... when gold hits it's high in 2030, if we stop overspending ourselves (as a country) now, we MIGHT start working the deficit the other direction.

It's been widely stated that: "It's not what you own that determines who you are... it's what you have access to."

Or, in the words of my dad: "It's not who you know in this world... it's whose wife you keep happy." (as related to money... or maybe not.)
