Participant[quote=kewp]We can easily pay off our debt if we:
A. End the war in Iraq.
B. Reverse Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthy.
C. Print money.
President Obama will take of this with no problem.

Kewp, you are extremely deceived if you think that A, B and C will fix our problems. That was probably also your basis for voting for Obama. I am not a huge fan of Obama’s policies and you fail to see that the democratic party in office would like to take on much more debt including that of GM and Ford. Unless Obama makes an effort to stay away from a socialistic government then A,B and C are far fetched ideas. I might agree with you if it wasn’t the plan to incur additional debt.
I’ve noticed lately that there are few positive people in regards to our economy and they always seem to be salesman. Kewp, I don’t know your profession, but I would assume it involves giving others a sense of false hope. Being positive is great and I have always been that way. It just starts to wear on society when they see that being the smart one will not be rewarded!
Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best! Unfortunately that is my current motto!

ParticipantAfter reading most of these long posts, I just have one question: What can we do personally to protect ourselves, whether it be deflation or hyperinflation?
Should I buy any house I can get myself into and stop paying?
Should I take my money out of the bank and buy gold bullions?
The dollar continues to lose value. I posted the thread about the Economist on world crisis
All the information is interesting, but what can we do on a personal level?

ParticipantIt doesn’t matter if they want them. They loaned dollars and they’ll get dollars. Debt paid.
You can’t loan me 5 coconunts with a signed contract that I’ll pay you back with 6 coconuts next year, then refuse the 6 coconuts when I present them just because you like pineapples better and there are suddenly too many coconuts.
You shouldn’t have loaned coconuts to the coconut farmer just as the farmer was increasing production.
