The situation will get so bad that our government will fall apart, people will not have faith in a government that has allowed such an incredible mess. We may live through a period of anarchy. The old Order will be in total chaos. The scary thing is that a dictator may rule us and we may turn toward total fascism in an attempt to solve the problem. Let us hope that in the trying times to come, that democracy does not slip into the hands of a tyrant.
Paper money is the government's solution to our problems.
The Chinese tried paper money over 1,000 years ago with disastrous results. In the 20th century, the American Politicians rediscovered its use as the economic situation stated to decline. Our politicians want to get re-elected, so they keep making money and in so doing they have created a period of false prosperity based on debt. You see, the only real money that ever existed is gold and silver. Governments cannot create real money.
