Default Happy? New Year

I'm a fan of near future fiction and came across this:

Especially with our growing deficit, it does make things look like a
house of cards. Hope it doesn't get too windy.

It was all supposed to start happening in Nov and Dec 03? Market's up, not
down, and good economic indicators for next year.

Don't matter anyway. I got all my fortune in fishing equipment, cars, and
silver quarters - lots of silver quarters.

Personally I favor fine double guns, scotch and mercury dimes but to
each their own! Dammit an 04 Allroad keeps looking better and better
though

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.

Naw, the money is in helium futures. Demand is rising and supply should be
out by about 2010. Yah know how much of that Disney goes through every year
just to make Donald Duck movies?

The way fuel cell car development is going I was going to invest in hydrogen
futures myself but it is such an explosive market and investors seem to
still be gun-shy since that Hindenburg thingey. The market tried to rebound
during the '50's but then it bombed again and everyone stuck their heads in
the ground.
