It is evident that you have actually read the books in your bookcase, Mr. Smith. In my direct experience, the number of Americans who either do not read or rarely read is a big problem. I cannot even count the number of people who choose not to read but are tethered to their cell phones. I just walked the dog and considered what makes you and Mr. Casey different, along with a few other people I tend to listen to for updates on what is going on in America and the world at large. You all are readers or writers.

I wish there were more intelligent people who could hold conversations such as you two have in this installment. I love the use of the word responsibility. Thanks for this.

Doug, you are absolutely right about Social

Security! Those of us who are on it early because of reasons of widowhood, or illness, wish we had not invested in the government system quite so much. We believed in it, and were sold a bill of goods. We are not "stupid". We just trusted. No one knows what the future holds. I was never taught finances in the home as a child, and never encouraged to invest. Thank God I have savings, and am finally starting to invest in later years. During Lyndon Johnson as President; money was moved out of Social Security; and now it is being moved out of Medicare to pay for Biden's "Green Agenda". Trump, if anything, has shown the American people just how crooked our government has become. Thank you and Matt for the great commentary and podcasts!

The government is the problem. You can't fix the problem with more of the problem. Unlike Americans, I know the type that have been imported into the USA by the plane and truck load. These are the gangbangers. They are mercenaries brought in on purpose to destroy what is left (of the country). They are not refugees. I am a refugee. These people are going to kill and destroy anyone (including innocents) who tries to deport them. That is why they are on the USA payroll.

I will listen to Doug Casey any time any where . He has a broad, tough, no nonsense view. I have entirely given up on the ludicrous Gold Spruikers > you know Gold will go up 3500% and Silver $200 next week, rinse and repeat - rinse and repeat > from junk channels like Money Sense and Soar Financially
