These Supersuits just don't get it. I'm going to put money in my shaky local bank at close to zero interest out of patriotic fervor for our great country? Right, sure, every day PAL! FICA stands every chance of going bust, then what? I wish I had bought gold & silver a year or two ago, too late now. Treasuries are becoming a joke too. God only knows what is going to happen.
