Along the same line, I had a conversation with a guy last week that went something like this: "I used to make $35.00 per hour bolting down them A-arms on the truck assembly line. That was until this GREEDY company I worked for, shut down our plant, moved south of the border, and put us out of the job. It's the big business, exploitation of foreign labor, and greedy profit taking that have ruined America! I'm calling Michael Moore to come in and do a documentary on our story." How many times do we hear this same mentality from the left? And now their in charge. Hopeless is an understatement. Nice comments Bill!

I say go ahead and spend it now before it becomes even more worthless. I'm investing in heavy metals...i.e. lead, brass, steel, etc. Let the revolution begin!

Interest and other investments do not return enough to offset the loss of value from inflation. The problem with imports from China is also internal. We have an aggressive policy of discouraging industrial development here in the USA. This is driving output overseas. We are not developing natural resources. We are not attracting smoke stack industry. Our semi-skilled workers in factories and other industrial ouput are facing extinction as the manufacturers are denied permits to develop new plant and equipment by state and local zoning officials and federal regulators. It is now beyond hopeless unless someone with a copy of "Wealth of Nations" can take charge.
