Entitlements. .....
The ones that drive me nuts are the "abused" social programs. Isn't anyone responsible for their own health and welfare anymore. Live a capitalist and die a socialist

bucket...land being the new gold?...you're born, you eat, you drink, you die. Not much else matters. My thots on land deflation are tied to the risks of increased global trade/production in basic grain/oilseed commodities and having to compete in a world with less political protection/distortions.

Ontario just voted themselves a big fat bail out package that will be funded by the taxpayers of AB and SK.

Inflation is needed to keep the banking sysystem solvent,the government solvent,the house hold solvent,the corporations solvent,small business solvent....

They did it overnight in the 30's by 75%,in the 70's,took our medicine and survived in the early eighties,bearly....

And then there are these defaults and restructures,which trust me does not help your purchasing power of what ever paper backed currency you happen to hold.

History repeats itself.

The Japs and Germans have been through this before.

Just my uneducated 2cents

The truth of the matter is that people with net worth of $1 million or $10 million or $100 thousand, it doesn't matter. Any portion of the population below the 1% wealthiest will be lumped into the same category if the wheels truly fall off. Broke and uncivilized...
So why knock your head around trying to beat something, that is further beyond your control than the weather in farming? Focus on what matters today...
