Why? I never understood why the price of Gold rising causes pain. At 1275 everyone observing knows the system is hopelessly broken already. We are in pain already. Best thing that can happen is burn it all down
so we can start the rebuild of the economy. And restoring freedom from gubermint intervention will remove a lot of pain.

I've never understood this psychology. Where's the upside in "burning it all down"? Several hundred millions of us depend on the system to work in some form or another and most of us go to work each day under the expectation that it will continue to. I'm all for creative destruction, the invisible hand et al but really one doesn't have to wish for a complete annihilation to get things headed in the right direction.
This isn't a troll I really do want to understand where you're coming from.

The burning down analogy is akeen to a clean slate. A forest fire and then healing and new growth after. There would be mad pain intially and there would be hardship for years after. However, some prefer this cleansing aka bloodletting to the slow death we are going through now with no salvation in sight. Patching, pumping and propping leads to popping. This is the path we are on now. MJ
Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Gold is just a reflection of problems in fiat land. Fix the fiat, and gold will go back to sleep.....for at least another 20 yrs.

Based on this quote. JMHO, Gold will be raising Hell for a good while!
Can you imagine how hard it will be to correct the problems in US Law & the regulations that have been spawned out of the last 10,000 or 20,000 pages of the US Code? We haven't even scratched the surface of knowing what the impacts of the new financial regulation and health care bills will be. The overlapping and conflicting regulations and redundancies in the federal government were already bad enough. It IS going to be a nightmare, unless these last 2 monstrosities both get repealed, and the repeal process should continue on from that point.
"Burning it down" is a bad analogy, but the idea ought to be that we should re-institute the Constitution and protect it more so, and any big changes should be done via a Constitutional Amendment, just the way it was set up. All of these end-runs around the Supreme Law of the Land are highly subversive in the original context and should be considered the same way now.
It's not the rising price of gold that's causing any pain. Gold is an inanimate object. It's just sitting there. People are generally responsible for their own situations. Some people are irresponsible, and they would be in trouble or busy causing misery whether gold is rising or falling. There are people who would probably be screwups even if a Ft. Knox 400 ozer fell into their laps. They would probably claim disability from mental anguish because it wasn't a 500 ozer.

I'm with you on that, but I have mixed emotions about it.
