Economic Headlines Are Sunnier, But Don't Believe Them

By Anne Trimble


If you're content just skimming the headlines and leaving it at that, you might conclude that happy economic days are here again in the United States - or at least on their way.

"Economic growth stronger than expected." "Fed dials back bond buying." "Stock market fundamentals remain strong." And so on. The powers that be and compliant news media want to get Americans to believe that the economy, and thus their own financial situations, are finally reaching the cusp of a new age of prosperity in a nation that hasn't known it now for half a decade.

But do not be tricked. Only this week, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke announced that he'll begin decelerating the bond-buying program called "Quantitative Easing," a program that has actually been making the dollar more worthless faster than ever. Joining in the chorus are financial pundits who are pointing out that all this signifies renewed economic hope for America.

The fact remains that these minor upticks in the U.S. economy are mere froth on a sea of troubles. The existing several trillions of dollars of national debt, weak willpower by companies, massive unemployment and stress and anxiety, and the worries of corporate executives and firm owners sitting on their money are all factors that lurk below the surface of all this feigned optimism.

And that isn't even considering Obamacare and the intensifying drag that will place on the economy, and on the spirits of the American people, as they fully realize what we and many other critics have been telling them all along: that it's a way to rob them of their money, health and freedom all at the same time.

Despite all this fake optimism, we're surprised to notice that precious-metals prices stay down. Definitely, there are lots of intelligent investors who understand that this positive outlook is as foolhardy as whistling through a graveyard. America remains just a couple of steps from massive monetary misfortune that will certainly make 2008 resemble a warmup game. And there will certainly be nothing that any politician, money master or industrial mogul can do to end it once it starts.

Now is really a good time to make a strong move and put your investment portfolio in God's Cash, gold and silver. It's just an issue of time, and very little at that, prior to the truth about the global economy becoming obvious to everyone.
