Thread: How bad could the U.S. economy get?

Chris,
I too wish to understand our current situation more and I also share your sentiment to keep it civil. I don't trust much of anything the government or their controlled media outlets say, and matters of the economy are no different. I think that preparing for the worst will leave you better off regardless of what ultimately happens. Any extra money I save from here on out I will be buying gold. Not gold futures or promises but actual gold. I feel that gold, in the event of a total collapse of our economy and or the world economy, will retain it's power in the market where all of the stocks, bonds, and federal reserve notes will be even more worthless that they are now. I have heard some very good, non partisan, economist's speak on some of my favorite shows on We The People Radio Network. One of then is Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, here is his wiki link Paul Craig Roberts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia but do some searching on his work. You can listen to WTPRN live on their website linked in my signature. I believe the economy should be controlled by companies, small businesses, consumers, and supply and demand NOT BY GOVERNMENTS! With that being said, partisan politics have no place in this discussion at the root level. I hope we find the information we are looking for.
