We would hope that our losing the Reserve status would never happen but things have a way of sneaking up on us from time to time in history. Questioning the "WHEN" is called the 'Normalcy Syndrome" or the Ostrich Theory you pick what you like. The Reserve Status is under attack as we speak, the only thing that is holding the change back is that other countries are having as much if not more financial problems as us. Countries are hoarding Gold now more than ever, buying all they can get their hands on and the major financial institutions Gold reserves are at the lowest levels ever. Some question the U.S. Reserves. You say if that's the case why is gold not going through the roof. The main reason is that there are Major World Banks that meet twice each day and put a fix on gold value for reasons I will not go into now, albeit obviously for their benefit. Banks are in a quandary now; their reserves of gold are low and by fixing the gold value artificially low they keep the disparity at a minimum but then other countries are buying gold at the lower price knowing they can't hold on forever. Oh, what is a bank to do? The Brits were the Reserve Currency at one time and they thought they would always be. The Jews of Germany were struck with the Normalcy Syndrome in the late 1930's and early 40's and sat there while Rome burned so to speak. Six Million lives later, well you know. Point is you can plan for the event or not; the great thing about the old U.S.A. but decisions or in this case non-decisions could put you and your family in jeopardy. So "if", "could", "maybe" you think about it? Last but not least the smart investors are worried about it and I will predict this ---- When our Treasury Secretary comes on national T.V. and tells you there is nothing to worry about then the time is drawing near.

The only thing I don't comprehend is how you got into the Navy. I could have sworn you had to have completed seventh grade to get in. Did you have some sort of special dispensation given to allow you to leave the farm? I like your bigotry though. Bigots like you are always talking about "You people". Who exactly are "You people"? Are you referring to the majority of sane rational Americans, in this country? I realize you, personally, don't fall into that category. But be assured that the majority of Americans are sane and rational, not like you. If you don't believe me ask one of your more intelligent Tea Party friends, (if that is possible), who won the P**********l e******n in 2012. You may not remember that e******n because you sound like you were born yesterday.
