Have you noticed the price per oz of silver is jumping up there now?$27.12 per oz now.Back in april it was around $17.5 an oz.

Gold is doing the same, isn't it?  But, as I may have said somewhere before, "You can't eat a gold piece."  Try stockpiling cans of food, gun/ammo, soap, salt, tools, medicine, etc.

Time to hone all the repair skills you can.I just fixed an old hotplate today.It works so I'm talking about it.triffid

Right.  Collect tools, a gun & ammo, food, medicine etc.  Hide these if possible.

Yeah, I heard of that, too.  At least the single shot(?) AK-47's are legal. I believe.

Got to go now.  They're closing this lab for a special class.
OKAY, LATER RE_EDIT:
They kind of cater to the lunatic fringe---revolutionary/anarchist, don't they?  Well, the Feds may have something to say about that eventually.

On topic:
This plan for the Gov't to print $600 billion and buy securities in order to jump-start the housing industry is drawing live verbal fire from Congress and the voters in due course, eventually, I think.  Inflation is the main concern.  Followed closely by the possibility of creating/maintaining another financial bubble.

This is more of the same old policies.  The only thing that's changed is that the economy is going to last a little longer.  That's about it.  It'll collapse anyway.  Just take longer to do it.



Something else:
Analysts warn at least one cable TV reporter to "watch out for the peripherals:  Ireland, Spain and Portugal."
They're just as vulnerable as they always were.  For the same reason we are:  Their bubble was bailed out by the EU and/or the IMF.  Not to mention Greece.  I expect fresh riots to return to major European city streets before it's all settled.  If it ever is.
