$1 Trillion Healthcare plan

Apparently, the US has enough money in the bank to pay for the $1 trillion healthcare plan. Wait, I might have misspoken. I meant that the US is currently bankrupt and has no means nor plans to fund this or any other hair brained schemes that they come up with aside from printing more money and issuing more debt. Really, this is just the type of behavior that us as citizens should participate in. You lead by example right?

Hmm, I really like that Porsche 911 I saw the other day. I'll just go into the dealership to purchase it and hand the salesperson an IOU. I'll tell him I'll pay it in 10 years, but I'll probably declare bankruptcy before then. So its a win win for me. That's just the type of irresponsible behavior our leaders are promoting.

Seriously, when your personal finances are tight, do you go out on a spending spree? Or do you cut back and live within your means?

Regardless, our lawmakers will continue to drive the dollar to the gutter and propel precious metals to new highs. Better diversify while you can. That Benjamin in your pocket won't buy you a movie ticket in a couple of years.

I'll get off the soapbox now.
