Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Does this mean that every vender needs to track the current cost of gold and weigh everyone's coins? Can you imagine the amount of fraud?

Why not just buy an ETF that holds the gold and silver for you? Yes, there is a cost of doing business and making the trades. As long as the US$ is losing less than 1-2% per year, why not use it?

I think there's going to be a single currency that includes Mexico, the States and Canada. I've seen the prints for such currency years ago. I wouldn't be surprised to see a global currency brought to the table at some point either. I think with where the world economy is headed, there's going to be a lot of options on the table in the near future.

I believe that the amount of fraud would be marginal compared to the fraudulent abuse of our paper dollar by the Federal Reserve....which is why they fight against an audit Lars.

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

Honestly, they hide from an audit because you and most Americans can't handle the truth. (apologies to Jack Nicholson for stealing a line)

The Fed has been transparent when deciding to print money (quantitative easing.) Other debt has been paid for mainly by Americans with more foreign contributions the last couple of decades.
