    Lmao!! Just because it went up a little bit in 1the 70s as it was at record lows does not mean breaking the link to gold caused the disparity. But you'll be dishonest as always. I'll let rational thinkers decide on what this graph is saying.

    Going up "a little bit" is just your subjective opinion. I think it went up a lot.

    It doesn't change the fact that the trend in closing the wealth gap was blatantly and obviously reversed immediately after delinking the dollar from gold in 1971.

    I never claimed it caused the disparity. Don't straw man me, your dishonesty is not going to work here.

    I'm never dishonest. Your own post right here proves who is the dishonest one.

    this is about price, those sources benefit from the misinformation/propaganda they float

    the price hasn't gone up like they said it should, that's because they're lying


    what a joke


    oh look, another joke

    just like i've been saying for decades

    gold salesmen will say and do anything to sell more gold at exorbitant prices

    they say the dollar is going to crash, it hasn't

    they say the dollar's value is only a few cents, yet they accept dollars in exchange for gold

    they say gold is going to keep going up, it hasn't

    they say that gold isn't expensive, its price is high because the dollar is losing value, if that were true, big macs would be very expensive too, but they aren't

    they say that the economy is going to break down, store shelves are going to be empty and you'll need gold to survive, but it hasn't happened

    face it, gold salesmen are liars and goldbugs are often greedy, deluded nut cases

    It would seem to me...

    That countries are investing more in gold and other currencies than the current world standard... the US dollar. Just out of curiosity... what do you think will happen when our unique ability to simply "print more" world standard currency is gone?

    http://www.heraldextra.com/news/opi...cle_e983d8b5-ab39-5cda-bba8-da7dc5d2bf6b.html

    What do you think is going to happen when the dollar collapses? When the devaluation of the USD as the world standard creates hyperinflation?

    The end is nigh.
    The government is not going to protect us... it is gong to go to desperate measures to protect itself though.

    like i said earlier, we'll adapt

    it hasn't and doesn't look like it will anytime soon

    it looks to me like looney libertarians will collapse long before the dollar

    oh please, that phrase is thousands of years old

    I believe your attitude is the penultimate example of normalcy bias.

    what a joke, of course we could have a disaster, but i'm not hoping for one like your side is

    ron paul and his ilk have been preaching disaster for decades, they're just looney

    I don't know anybody hoping for any sort of disaster... and while I realize you are unaccustomed to reading links... but you should. "New World Currency To Replace The Dollar Would Slay The Gold Bull Market" sums up what I think about the situation.

    I am not suggesting anyone buy gold. I think that would be a terrible mistake. Silver should do well... but if I had any money left, I would put it into Singapore money.

    If anything it keeps me up at night a bit tragically worried that my kids will not know the America the last 4 generations did. This makes me very sad. Not hysterical, certainly not looking forward to it... but the writing is on the wall. We seriously need to revamp the entire system now if there is any hope of preventing this and retaining our power and influence. I don't see that happening either. You seem to think that trying to spend our way out of unpayable debts and printing more money is going to somehow fix this.

    LMAO!! According to Libertarians, the only thing holding our economy together is this "World Reserve Currency" status. Hahahaha, apparently Apple will stop producing iPhones, people will stop growing corn and apples, people will stop eating or going to the movies, once we lose this world reserve currency status!!

    My favorite thing about Libertarians is you ask them when this is gonna happen, but they have no clue. They just no hyperinflation is going to happen and people are just going to stop doing anything once we lose the world reserve currency status. Absolutely hilarious.

    You are a real life conspiracy theorist in just about everything. Whether it's XKeyscore, Benghazi, or economics, lol.

    Your argument against XKeyscore has already been sufficiently dismantled. You lied about Snowden not providing any documents, and when this was proven wrong in the other thread, you just moved into another thread and continued to repeat the same false nonsense. Typical akphidelt2007 move.

    My argument about XKeyscore hasn't even come close to being dismantled. I never said Snowden didn't provide any documents, I said he didn't provide any evidence that he could do what he said he could do, and I haven't moved to any other threads because there will be very few times in your life where you can prove me wrong. You are a libertarian. Notice how all you guys are the same, very conspiratorial and just dismiss any data you don't like. It's embarrassing.

    That isn't a disaster. The country crashing and burning is a disaster. The government defaulting us out of credit ratings and the world standard currency... is an American disaster. People will die. I don't want that at all. If they all got impeached I would gladly run to emergency polls and watch their trials on TV.

    In my fantasy world the NSA would expose every dirty deal they have done to the American people... and the NSA becomes counter-terrorism/government watchdog... releasing reports to the press on shady deals our representatives are making in our names. I mean... I don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*) if they like to bang hookers... so long as they aren't using tax dollars to pay for it. THAT would be national security. That I would hope for.

    I am not really a libertarian... I am more a constitutional conservative. I don't care what you think about what I think. You are a statist. Clearly you will not agree with me on much.
