If we subscribe to most of what this article says(at least the trend), all we can do is protect ourselves and our investments. Our votes really don't even matter. How do we see this playing out in terms of investment strategy and precious metal investing? Does this make us want to own more or less PM?

My view is that the ruling elite will eventually get so punch drunk with their self interest spending, the rest of the world will see it for what it is and begin to withdraw financial support for the mighty USD. That will start the run and that is why I own some PM and PM equities. The mindset of congress and the executive branch remind me of NERO's era of rule in Rome. We all know how that ended.

If it gets bad enough, we may have to join Baires in Argentina on the beach with some Malbec.
