Default Happy? New Year

You'll get out in time. Most of the rest of us still
have a ways to go before we get to retirement age and
by then our pension funds will be worth peanuts, `cause
the dollar will be like the Argentinian peso, and for
much the same reason: a hopelessly corrupt government.


It was a joke, Greg. Joanne's father, a Depression Era kid, was always afraid
that the world would go through another depression. He had millions - made
from the stock market - and he left it all to James Mason University..... go
figure. Anyway, he left his four children a burried treasure with a map to its
location. When we dug it up it was a three foot long four inch pipe chock full
of silver quarters. His reasoning was that if there was another depression,
gold and silver would rule as the currency. Gold coins only came in very big
demoninations, whereas silver quarters would be easy to exchange for food,
shelter, whatever.

You sound like Chicken Little, Greg with your economic forecast.
