Are prices getting out of control?

[ProgMatinee]

prices only go up when people are willing to pay for things. I don't think you'll see hyperinflation because incomes aren't going up wildly, despite government influx of money.

peoples incomes have nothing to do with dollar-devaluation...when the fed prints more and more money, it devalues the currency, which will cause high inflation, as the dollar isnt worth as much...the dollar, conservatively,is only worth .04 cents....when your paying alot for food,gas and actual necessities we need, then you'll notice....a dollar crash has been forecasted and it doesnt look good, which means you'll be paying $30 for a loaf of bread.

just like all these bailouts....nobody thinks where this money comes from..they just print it out of thin air (backed by nothing) and just creates the dollar to take a huge dump! The paper Dollar is not money, its debt! its an "I owe You"...and represention of debt....watch money as Debt, it explains our fraudulent economy

I see you know the real deal. The problem is the Federal Reserves. One must ask this question why the USA dont print out their own money and have their money back by gold so we wont go into a inflation.

We used to do that and stopped in the early 70's because we had a strong dollar because of our credit standing. Other nations allowed the US to have our money stand on it's own because of our economic standing in return for our promise that we would not allow the dollar to become devalued. Unfortunately, we have been breaking that promise in recent years and especially with the very increased rate that we are printing more and more money. There's no going back to gold now, because we would just spiral into a long recession and instantly loose the buffered value of our money to this point.

 

[Mighty_Jabba]

Yeah, I tried the PF thing for a while. You take it out of the box, stick it on a shelf... and that's it. Talk about boring. Less bang for the buck if you ask me.

Well said
As far as the prices go, I only started collecting six months ago, so the prices now are more or less the same as then. This is why I don't feel like they're getting too high.

abolish the fed and the illegal income tax and it will solve alot of problems

gold and silver is true money, true wealth....paper is poverty

all paper is based on 'confidence' and that confidence in our currency is falling away fast

Gold is a worldwide recognized money,its been a money standard for over 5,000 years.....the dollar was onced backed by Gold and now its no longer backed by anything, other than a fraudulent 'confidence' in paper.Its a broken promise and represents debt....its a pretty easy concept to get...the more they print, the more it de-values our currency and makes it less attractive. because of that, it creates prices to go up as the dollar does not buy what it used to.....china is already moving away from the dollar and turning towards gold

dont kid yourself ... if worse came to worse and there was a complete global economic meltdown gold and silver would be nothing more than rocks.

um yeah and paper would be any different??

gold and silver has a better chance than paper my friend, thats why countries are moving towards precious metals

thats why if SHTF happens, you will need items to barter with (food,water,guns,bullets etc)

 

[occulum]

the only items of true value would be items needed to survive.

Food, water, clothing and work ..... etc ... it would become a world of bartering again ... people would realize what is truly valuable in life.

yeah.
try going a few weeks without a shower, hot food, a pillow and blanket, a roof. hell a few days. i've a gut feeling most people would break quickly, at least those of the "have it your way" generation.

all you need, food, shelter, sex, and a weapon. everything else is a luxury.

This conversation reminds me of The Road Warrior for some reason ^^^^ty times ahead? Probably but imo even during rough or desperate times Gold would still hold some merit.

 

[Mollins]

I feel thigns are getting pricier, but so long as the £ holds strong againt the $, I'm happy

I don't know about you, but I have been buying and hoarding gas in big 5 gallon jugs.

good move! just make sure you re-cycle out before it goes bad over time

Well I was thinking about doing that but I have a bad feeling this dude would come looking for me asking to "Just walk away"

 

[Mikey2Bullets]

i just need some claymores for the approaches to my house.

 

[nash]

Im glad I have a basement full of guns and bullets to barter with.
