I believe if we go back to the system that the Founders put in place we can begin to rebuild. There is an absolute reason Roosevelt confiscated our gold and and Nixon took us off the gold standard. The Federal Reserve Note is nothing but valueless paper...But todays generations have no idea what real, sound money is and unless you have $1250 to burn, buying gold isn't really an option. I highly recommend silver...its affordable and is projected to hit anywhere between $600-$1000 an ounce once the fiat system crashes
