Message: Fed President Sounds Panic Over Level Of US Debt

SideNote: The one thing I have told myself since 2006, "When the worldwide debt bubble finnally burst, the opposite reaction will happen quickly, the world will wittness the biggest bubble formation in Gold." My outlook hasn't changed, in fact, today, I feel more strongly about the transformation from debt bubble to Gold bubble becoming a reality. Today, things have changed a bit, the-joker-in-the-deck could be electronic currency replacing fiat currency over night before governments allow the price of Gold to go hyperbolic. Governmets want total control, they will not tolerate another form of currency to compete and hinder Governments total control. That appears to be the path world Governments are quickly moving towards. GRIM
