Tweet, If the fiat currency ever fails as our currency what would likely replace it is unthinkable. What everybody forgets is that there are ways yet unused (so far this time) to reduce and even somewhat cancel the national debt. I watch gold. It is extremely important for gold to continue to be manipulated as gold is the canary in the coal mine for the international status of the dollar as the world reserve currency. I dont necessarily believe all the meaningless noise constantly around the fate of the dollar which is still by far the cleanest dirty shirt in the dirty shirt pile. It is still used almost exclusively by the end user buisnessman worldwide in spite of the lies of various governments and that is what counts not what you hear on cnn or msnbc.
