Buy gold, silver and oil as fast as you can, you morons, or die a horrible death by inflation like the people of Zimbabwe!

The election of Barack Obama does not change America’s fundamental economic flaws, says Bill Bonner. The slump caused by too much debt will continue. And a US dollar crash caused by reckless money printing is still just around the corner.

Information Clearing House started off a recent issue with quote from Kenneth Gerbino, who is referred to as “former chairman of the American Economic Council”, who notes, “Historically, the United States has been a hard money country. Only [since 1913] has the United States operated on a fiat money system. During this period, paper money has depreciated over 87%.”

History tells us that gold is the “ultimate antidote to fiat money” says John Pugsley. He says gold’s dollar price relative to other goods is now higher than the long-term trend. But no one really knows how much the buck has been inflated in recent years. And as price inflation returns “with a vengeance”, the gold bull run should resume.

About five years ago, I said that the euro, which was trading at about $.88 at the time would rise to $1.50 and then fall back to $1 over the course of a decade or more. It would be one huge round trip.
