The government is not going to save you. Gold probably won’t either but I’ll take my chances with the latter

The Founders designed our Constitution specifically to limit the powers of government. They were 100% correct in their approach. Faith in government is completely misplaced.

But they did have faith in their paper money which was one of the indirect causes of the American Revolution. The crown banned the colonies from issuing money - ie all but the 1773 Virginia halfpennies and the 1723 Rosa Americana coins were not permitted by the crown. The paper money was a particular irritant as some attempted purchase of goods from England with the paper - which didn't go over well. And all that paper the colonies issued eventually returned to it's real value - zero.

no, has nothing to do with government and everything to do with lack of faith in the currency. This is true for every nation in the world.
our income tax payments are our proxy for our faith in government, and even that is forced upon us.

The faith for the government and monetary policy ended more than three decades before my birth.

Ones only savior is the knowledge to properly use all the tools at their disposal. The hard part is knowing which tools you will need.

Governments come and go, but gold goes on and on like the energizer bunny.

I guess I'd better not ask you what silver is.

Oh go ahead. I have beefsteak for a black eye.

Hey, that's why I didn't ask!

If gold is a proxy for labor, how is labor valued in terms of gold?
And I don't mean the spot price divided by the number of hours.
