I have this questiin that keeps bothering me
I don't have to convince anybody that our defict is a problem
Canada and the USA, maybe a large part of the world
Despite a roaring economy, somebody did some math and decided at present spending and tax revenue, that in 5 yrs, the entire tax revenue would be needed to pay the interest on the national debt
Is this assumption correct or not, I do not know
But I do know that several economist have warned that future tax revenue will not be sufficient to pay the bills
So: any way you look at it, trouble is coming
Deficits that can't even make interst payments is trouble in any part of the world and business
My question is what will happen in the future, if this happens?
I do believe it will happen, some time soon
With pelosie and Trump talking 2 trillion to do infastructure, cuts in spending does not look to be on the agenda
So:
The only thing I can see is printing dollars
You can argue how this is done, the bottom line is printing paper dollars
So: What happens if dollars are printed
Inflatuion has to happen
Isn't that what history has taught us???
How do we position ourselves for inflation
Most can't go out and buy any significant amount of physical gold or PM
So;
Is a depression coming when the USA and canada default on our debt
What else could happeen
Are you ready for a depression
No matter if everybody else is in the same boat
It still hurts just as bad
What do you think
Because I really believe drastic change is coming and it won't be good
We are buying land in hopes the land inflates as fast as general inflation, although we have stopped buying land, at present
The idea is to have an asset that we can afford and will give some protection if inflation happens
If devaluation happens we could be in a world of hurt
That happened when interest went to 20% and I went brroke
You can see why Trump wants low interest but he won't be around for ever.
