What a powerhouse. There's enough for roughly 34 days in the "strategic reserve".

In the design world, we call that form over substance; it doesn't matter if it works well, just that it looks good and everyone knows that looks are very important. Is that supposed to make oil cheaper for a month? Better to save that little bit of oil for when the N. African Union tells us to pound sand...
Weren't we supposed to be getting away from oil consumption and go immediately into alternative fuels a couple of years ago? Oh, wait, we're doing that, we sent all the oil producers packing; that should put an end to all that silliness. Form is important.
So now the Repubs are going to go after SS entitlements. Those under 54 will get screwed. OK to give the banks free money through the Fed. We are all serfs to the Federal Government. They own you. You may have your mortgage paid off but the Feds owns your home and your income. Stop paying taxes on your home or your income and see what happens. Best to go on welfare and let the state take care of you. But those relying on the government for handouts will get a rude awakening soon.

That's at least 2 guys that get it: Ryan and Paul.
But the hard nut to crack is the near 50% of voters who either don't pay taxes, get fat handouts, or both. They will never care about cutting debt, only about the next govt check...and will vote for any candidate, regardless of qualifications who will promise that.
i just hope we don't swirl the drain into a Social Democracy. scary to think those of us who produce and are taxed are in a minority (we are threatened regardless)

Give me the 200K that I and my employer paid into the SS and Medicare and I will be fine. These politicians violated the trust of the american people by looting social security and putting worthless treasury IOUs in its place. It was the politicians that made this into a ponzi scheme.

Supposedly the interest on the national debt is 6 billion per day, but as we all now know the social security system has been looted and contains Treasury IOU’s, so does the Federal employment retirement fund, so does the Medicare fund.
Soooo when the calculation is done for how much interest is due on the debt each day, does it included the INTEREST on all those treasury IOU’s on all the trillions of debt in all these funds?? Huh?

More and more Americans can't seem to wipe their own ass but they sure have an opinion on who "we" should bomb or dictate to ( all the while whining and sniveling for more socialism at home )
Bombings have given initial boost to all the metals and commodities. But now a lot of retracement eventually needed to cover all those gaps from Thursday to today.
Best I can tell this law is still active and gives the Australian govt the power (when deemed necessary) to remove/limit private gold ownership. Frankly, I'm surprised that Australia has such a law on the books. Then again, we have the leftover War Powers Act and various laws from the 1930's that could probably be construed to do the same thing with private American gold holdings.
"Frankly, I'm surprised that Australia has such a law on the books."
Hard assets, particularly PM, are the enemy of fiat. Banksters own all the fiat and the citizens that own hard assets are a threat to total control of the money available to citizens. Once the nations were taken away from PM and became totally bankster fiat dependent then the citizens lost their individual sovereignty to the fiat that the banksters totally control; as in what citizens can borrow/buy, what the cost or benefit of using fiat will be to the user, and how much tax can be generated by using the fiat instrument itself for commerce.
At this point in time, in the US, the gov want's velocity with a lot of tax activity every time there is any movement. It is not in the banksters interest to have high citizen savings, hence the bankster rate of 1.5% on CD's for the citizens. If the fiat is not in the stock market where it can be worked or out in the economy where it is churning consumer goods then it does nothing for our GDP or for the banksters nor does it generate any tax income. Not a question of if it's good or bad policy, it's simply what it is, but individual citizens that own PM at least have a little independence from the banksters and the monetary policies that the banksters promulgate on our behalf.

<< <i>Hard assets, particularly PM, are the enemy of fiat. >>
I don't really disagree with this except that all commodities, and to a very real extent, all sources of production are also enemies of fiat and those who control it. What difference does it make to the purveyors of money if people are buying wheat or silver. Ideally this would apply equally to shares of manufacturers except now days these are giant conglomerates that are in the orgy with bankers and government.
Bankers mostly just control the flow and amount of money available and it's this amount that drives the prices of everything. Gold goes up because the amount is increasing and silver because it is coming to be seen as undervalued. In either case though so long as th amount of money increases the prices of commodities will increase. This can affect the value of the plant and equipment that processes or delivers these commodities as well.
Police: Angry Taco Bell customer fires at officers (03-21) 08:13 PDT SAN ANTONIO, TX (AP) –
Police say a San Antonio Taco Bell customer enraged that the seven burritos he ordered had gone up in price fired an air gun at an employee and later fired an assault rifle at officers before barricading himself into a hotel room. San Antonio police Sgt. Chris Benavides says officers used tear gas Sunday night to force the man from the hotel room after a three-hour standoff. The man is charged with three counts of attempted capital murder. Authorities have not released his name. Brian Tillerson, a manager at the Taco Bell/KFC restaurant, told the San Antonio Express-News that the man was angry the Beefy Crunch Burrito had gone from 99 cents to $1.49 each.
Good thing I don't go to Taco Bell anymore for my old favorite hard Taco Supreme. I might have lost my cool as well. So did the guy buy them after all?
I wonder if Cohodk still doesn't see any inflation in his neck of the woods. BK dropped the Buck Double, it's now $1.29 and a few months ago the value fry went from $1 to $1.29. $1.29 is the new dollar.
