Fire is starting to shoot out of my eyeballs trying to digest all this trillion dollar bail out stuff.

A trillion dollars would buy........
All of Walmart, Microsoft, Apple, Google, CocaCola, PepsiCo
and you would have enough left over to buy several islands in the Pacific

You know... I am still trying to figure out just where this trillion dollars even came/is coming from. I want to know who the lender is so I can go apply for a few million myslef.

Rumor has it they have nothing left in Fort Knox anymore, China & India has been securing a huge amount of American debt and I have heard they now have the biggest gold reserves.

The US dollar was originally selected to be the world currency because they backed it with a certain percentage of gold. But that has pretty much vanished now.

The US has a clause that actually allows them to seize civilian gold in the event they need it to back their dollar. I think it was written into the laws a long time ago... but if you own gold I would start hiding it
