U.S. is the next Greece

For the sake of this discussion, does it matter if people are saving or investing more inflated currency?
I don't think M3 figures are public. But from what I've seen, the M2 figure has gone up, but not as much as the M1 figure.

I believe it does Cal - the real picture is within the M2 and M3 figures...

Kstill might know more about this -

Why not? It's a store of value.
Don't think Mad Max, think Weimar.
German films? Well, I will need to ask - Weimar?

Gold and silver are rather archaic stores of value - they were important centuries ago, but other resources have become more valuable in their stead. People aren't trying to create alchemist solutions to create gold, but are looking in other areas - ways to create small nuclear reactors for instance, and the raw materials that are needed to create them could be far more valuable in a post apocalyptic world than the old standards of gold and silver.

like LEAD should be very valuable as it is used for ammunition as well as the containment of radiation and nuclear synthetics :-D

If you believe that the real picture is with the M2 and M3 figures, then explain why. Why does the amount of PRINTED money in circulation not matter?

Because there are only two options with much money being put into circulation (and I don't believe they've turned off the printing presses.)

1. Massive hyper-inflation.
2. The fed demonstrates that it's suddenly massively competent and an honest broker and they pull back the money supply at precisely the right moment. In doing so, they raise interest rates very high, very quickly. This would likely lead to massive deflation along with crushingly high interest rates.

Did you have a point or were you just distracting?

No, not German films. History.
The Weimar Republic, not the fictitious Mad Max world.

I have to seriously ask, are you trying to make a point or make yourself sound interesting? My guess is that you are introducing the extreme and absurd as a kind of strawman. To speak of economic collapse is to project the possibility of Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

Gold and silver are "archaic stores of value," but they are still stores of value. I don't know how practical or easily traded "ways to create a nuclear reactor" would be :rolleyes:

But again, why are you talking about a "post apocalyptic world." I don't think I've heard anyone even imply such a thing.

Stock up.
Remember, to carry it around with you.
And also remember to handle it without gloves and breath in the dust.
