It amazes me when the government uses terms like quantitative easing to manipulate the minds of the american people. You see these candidates debate talking about when they predict social security to collapse and they use numbers like 2037 or 2041. The answer is 2010, the answer was 2005. They worry about the amount of money people counting on to survive their "golden years" NOW except with what they are doing, they are taking that check that barely covers bare essentials and devaluing it to a point where it is worthless. Internationally they use it to devalue our debt to help prevent further economic collapse while simultaneously taking our American's paychecks and making them completely unsatisfactory meanwhile the standard middle-class American has no idea they are being robbed. The decreasing dollar gets backed by an increasing gold price seemingly making up for our losses but in reality, it only costs more money to buy gold because the dollar is worth less money. It really doesn't seem that we had too much of a choice with where we were heading but it was the sheer lack of fiscal responsibility of our president, who i voted for, that led it get to where we are. We saw what happened when they did this with the subprimes. Expect no different
