Problem is government:

1) Creating trillions in currency
2) Major enemy of private enterprise
3) Cause Depression - meaning standards of living decline
4) Consume more than produce
5) Living off debt
6) Business cycle caused by printing - Super Cycle
7) Capital liquidated
8) Economic depression by intervention
9) Dissipation of capital
10) Problem is saving (or any savings) is in dollars
11) Socialological earthquake - wipe out middle class
12) Can't improve - turn violent
13) Government has nothing - it steals

Only Offsets:

1) Individuals - produce for others
2) Technology

Identity:

1) America is dead and gone as we know it
2) Nothing is a bargain
3) Sucess is losing the least
4) Dollar is a hot potato
5) Gave paper for wealth
6) The enemy is living off your taxes
7) Voting for corrupt politicians
8) Good have more in common with Congo - ethics
9) Nation state is dysfunctional
10) Draws wrong people

Solution:

1) Diversify politically - other geographics
2) Speculate on political caused distortions
3) Short bonds
4) Gold

Pillers of Freedom:

1) No way out - existential nightmare
2) Real estate is localized
3) Good case for productive farm land
4) Growing things

The End - The ideal

1) Financial industry should collapse
2) Banks should be storage for deposits only - not 30% of country controlling the world
3) United States should default on debt - punish people who bought government debt
4) Default just changes owner - wealth still there
5) Radically cut government
6) Nation states replaced by groups - internet - made possible by communication
7) Nano Tech - anything is possible - best reason for becoming wealthy
8) Technology cannot replace gold as a store of value


This is hard hitting but the progression of logic suggest heavy immediate danger!!

I'm assuming you are talking about Doug Casey here, but the two of us share many common ideas.

Doug Casey it is, maybe a brother from another life

What is interesting is that he gets to the heart of many things very fast in the above framework

The government and fed's manipulation of the money supply is the source of so much havok, to understand the big picture can give one an edge

Prepare to move on a dime, do the homework, it is easy to be sedentary

Ok, just curious. Doug and I share many similar viewpoints. You may want to give Doug credit for your post with a link back to his site where you found this.
