why is it gold and silver have been good enough to use for money for at least 2000 years and all of a sudden its not anymore?

who? the founders? or me?

Nothing in the constitution about slavery.

May not be a bad Idea.

If its so dumb why was our country founded on this principal?

You'll get enough funny money to pay for what the gold and silver would have bought you before we went off the standard. when houses cost 20,000.00 and cars were 3000.00

yea fuck stocks, its grown into a scam.

this crazy variation in the value of the dollar started after we depegged the dollar from the gold standard in the 70's, since then the debt has been rising exponentially and soon the dollar will have no purchasing power. You can still buy a gallon of gasoline with a dime, if its a pre-64 silver...

SO gold and Oil stay constant, the US dollar sways pretty far from the mean, and now is the inverse of the other two. my point is that for purchasing useful commodities gold and silver never loose their value the dollar however does.

I see your point, and I would hope people would find new ways to invest their money. I don't believe the stock market is a great place to park your money.

funny thing is the return on my investment from the 401(k) was almost 20% from 2008 until 2014. That's completely fucked up. The bubble will burst and shit will be bad. 2008 showed the system is manipulated and is not a "free Market". track the value of gold/oil/ and the dollar and you'll...

I took all my money out of my 401K and will never invest in the stock market again.

remind me who's problem it was? not mine. or yours! I don't want you to have to take care of me. If you want to that's different and you can donate to whom ever you want. I don't care if it was good or bad before, It's not my responsibility to care for those I don't want to.

we live longer lives after retirement then when the program was set up. Why can't we be responsible for our own retirement?

uh yea... at some point your receive more than you put in. so

I doubt it, but where should I be looking for information then?

40% of Americans accepting handouts is unreal in my mind. The assistance programs were set up to help, not provide.

Social security is a pyramid scheme. We are spending away our future. I don't expect to receive social security ever. My point in posting this is, we as a nation no longer want to forge our own opportunities, instead it's way easier to let someone else worry about it. I believe this attitude is bad,
