With an endless "inter-generational" perma-war draining the US treasury...!
With the Oil Barons of Araby and the Chinese Communists sitting on huge piles of Dollars that they can't invest in HARD ASSETS INSIDE THE US...FOR "SECURITY REASONS"...
With Bush/Cheney more "unpopular" around the world than Osama...
With Gold looking like 1980 Redux...
With the Greenspan Era "hyperliquidity" bubbles only now starting to deflate...
IS FIVE PERCENT ENOUGH...?How many guesses do you need...?
