I know pur time will come eventually, I just hope it is later rather than sooner, I still have some plans to finish. The big trouble I see with holding physical gold or silver is the fear the government will make it illegal to do so, then how will you use it for barter and trade with the constant threat of jail and confiscation Swamp Doghttp://doublebhomestead.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-49601741427712592342014-12-16T10:26:51.065-05:002014-12-16T10:26:51.065-05:00Russ - I just did my Christmas shopping ast night....Russ - I just did my Christmas shopping ast night. And I noticed some deflation as a matter of fact. Not on items we all need or food of course but on small items like some tools, light rope that kind of thing. I wonder if we have ever seen a deflationary Inflation crisis before?<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-39926884885743883072014-12-16T10:25:05.565-05:002014-12-16T10:25:05.565-05:00Kev - The skill set is about the one thing the gov...Kev - The skill set is about the one thing the government cannot readily tax easily anyway.

So much money is wasted by insurance it's staggering. Everything is connected as yo say. Gal over at "Our finite world" talks about that often.

The government has become a major system rather than just providing infrastructure and<br />safety. All of these systems now involve a second system that is nationwide(nice pun) that sucks further wealth out of each system. This is insurance, everything is insured now, it is what is supposed to save most sheepies.
