And just think what will happen when this debacle spreads to the pension funds. All those teachers, municipal workers, trade union workers etc will be in for the shock of their lives when this thing collapses and their so called annuity pesion ceases to exist. Can you imagine the amount of money that needs to be created to fund (I mean bail out) this mess. Hyperinflation here we come. Buy GOLD.
