Yeah, I never listen to anyone trying to sell a book, or selling gold and silver. That's obvious.
Think about our debt for a second. Think of every dollar that is made for a whole year in the US. Every worker, every business, every last cent that is generated. That's a lot of freaking money. Now, realize that it wouldn't be enough to pay the national debt, not even counting unfunded liabilities. Now realize the government never pays down the debt at all, not even by a penny a year. It only gets added to.
