Damned if we do... Damned if we don't
Hello:
Freddy Mac and Fannie May are bankrupt. They are about to collapse. They guarantee HALF the mortgages in this country. That's a $Trillion (WITH A T) worth of debt. The government is being encouraged to bail them out because, they say, we can't afford for them to fail.
If your government DOES bail them out, that will, in one fell swoop, DOUBLE the national debt and the taxpayers will be on the hook. Are you ready to take on that load? Are your children?
Of course, they're right (whomever they are), when they say we can't afford to see these institutions fail... If they do, the entire banking industry will too.
I have only one solution to this dilemma: buy gold.
