or was old enough to be interested or understand these things,the government inflative financial policy as well as personal over spending life style has been in practice for over 30 years. Why would it come to an end today ? Why did gold fell from $900 to $400 / oz in the 90s ? I bought gold at $420 after it fell from $900 in 1998 and was trapped for almost 10 years. Why didn't the over spending bubble burst then ?
