President Obama and his administration have revealed their strategy on how to win the sequestration debate: Exaggerate and lie about the impact of the cuts, which really only serve to slow the growth of federal spending, and maximize the pain caused by those cuts.

"Some 60,000 Customs and Border Protection agents and other employees will be furloughed for up to 14 days, according to notices dated Thursday. The furloughs could begin April 21 and last through the end to the fiscal year in September, according to the notice, which attributes the move to across-the-board budget cuts that began taking effect March 1."

^This is an example, along with the inexcusable late breaking release of criminals of illegal origins. In my opinion, one has to choose to be misled in such magnitude by the administration, I call that condition being wilfully ignorant. If you're right and people like me are a dying minority, you won't get to make too many toasts about it because history clearly teaches over and over again. No country has ever been able to pull out of a financial nose dive by printing money the way the fed is doing. So, you can delude yourself that you're untouchable if you want but, whether we're talking about a wheelbarrow full of worthless paper or a truckload of useless paper is still worthless. And that applies to all the theoretical money we all spend that is theoretically in the bank. When the US left the gold standard behind, money was based on the good faith and fortune of the United States of America. When that tanks, and it will, everybody will lose everything.

I turned a very big chunk of my "paper" into gold. I'll survive.
