All of my holiday shopping will be physical bullion, guns, ammo, food, water, maybe a quality grill with lots of propane and 100 or so gallons of gasoline, etc. The same things I have been buying all year.

My mom probably will not appreciate me giving my little brother a shotgun and a 10/22 for Christmas, but oh well, it is happening. God bless all of you and your families who have been speaking out against the treachery and corruption of our government for years.

Fits, I couldn’t agree with you more, and your comment is not contradictory to my original point though.

YMMF,

With all due respect, what’s unsustainable is trillion dollar deficits to fuel the growth of government in DC.

But guess what … China’s about tapped out.

Fits, you don’t have to have taken economics 101 to understand that an ecomony based on more than 50% consumer spending is perfectly unsustainable for any extended duration of time…the only way that it every had sustained even in the short term was by consumer debt spending – credit cards, home equity lines et cetera. Guess what, we are all tapped out.

What American needs is industry and production, unfortunately free trade stupidity has traded American prosperity and opened up US markets asking for nothing in return (and especially not that those countries open up their markets to US products).

Every bit of economic data that comes out does not need to be foolishly twisted to support your simpleton ecnomic theories.

Are you serious? Have you been awake in the last year? You are blaming weak consumer spending on Obama?

I will try to find the link, but I read an article that was talking about retailers having less foot traffic in stores, but a hell of a lot more traffic online. I for one have always found better deals online. I believe others are starting to do the same. Newegg and Slickdeals ftw!

After reading By No Way’s comments I have realized that some will always be closed minded and ignorant no matter which way country grows.. or dare I say evolve.

If Obama would just resign, the economy would improve, as would the status of this great country!

Amen Weighing In – - and an economy built on retail sales is a house of cards. How about building it on real economic activity rather than trading in cheap foreign goods.
