You know, something that puzzles me is the faith all of you seem to have in our governments monetary system. With 8.5+ trillion in debt and rising by the hour, and the individual debt of the population on top of it, why do you all feel so SAFE with buying government Tips or I-Bonds or other gov. securities.
Don't you think we can experience what Argentina, and many before us have?
Why do you think the US is so infalable. What logic precludes this possibillity with numbers so staggering and the worse yet to come with social security and medicare. How could our government be considered a "safe bet" at this juncture.
I would stake my faith in a well balanced, well run, and profitable company before lending any faith to returns from our government.
Is it so "unthinkable" that such a thing could happen to such a "once" powerful nation? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we are no longer the super power and we are invinceable. I know we all are hoping for the best and that we will somehow miraculously pull out of this. But what steps have you seen taken to have this actually happen. (other than getting the Repuplican's out of office)
There is some talk about the shaky future of the stock market, but never any question on buying these government securities. Why is that?
