A "sea change"

All of my life I have been fairly optimistic that things would work out for the best, and that my government would work to protect my interests.

Now it seems that I have to protect myself from my government and take steps to insure my family's welfare that I have never imagined in the past.

I have to pull every penny out of the stock and bond money and convert it to gold and silver.

Tax rates are only going up and I can much better absorb the lower rate taxes of today.

I fully expect the stock and bond market to tank, the value of the dollar to drop, and high unemployment and inflation to haunt us.

I can no longer count on our legislatures to look out for my interests.

It is a sad day in America .
