Interesting, John.
Couple different ways I could go here, I think I will go this route.
I had a professor in college that, in a private moment would tell you some disturbing things about America. He had some friends that had at one time or another been high placed government officials, and what they told him was some pretty wild stuff.
So here is my conspiracy theory. The United States of America is a country. "America" is a corporation. I very privatly held corporation. There are various details that I don't recall exactly, and some that I never understood. But, about the time the US went off the gold standard there was a small, powerful group of people that "privatized" parts of the federal government. Couple this with supposed "non government" entities like the federal reserve bank, and it would be easy to see a very clandestine "company" could easily be at work.
Sorry to hijack the thread John.
John, have you ever heard anything like what I just mentioned?

John, have you ever heard anything like what I just mentioned? Actually yes I have. If I remember right, our REAL worth has exceeded our 'reported' worth ever since. There is supposedly no where near the gold in our reserves that we(as an entity) are writing checks for. According to that(if I am thinking of the same thing as you) we have actually been 'technically' bankrupt for a very long time. And it is getting harder to cover up every year. That sound like the same one? |

That is in fact the one, John.
Eventually, most likely at the hands of another 9-11 like attack, inflation will skyrocket, and we will be looking at a situation very similar to Germany after their WWII defeat. Wheelbarrows of money to buy a loaf of bread.
More to what you were really starting this tread for. Most of the current problems, stem from the dot.com boom. Small companies were setting insane standards by which to be measured. Larger companies were losing investment dollars to virtual nobodys and in order to put themselves in the same ballpark they started cooking the books. It had always happened to a point, but the shell games they play with the books now are nothing like what they used to do. Once the dot.com bubble burst, those companies no longer garnished all the attention and the larger companies couldn't go back to their old standards...that would look suspicious. Caught with both hands in the cookie jar, and chocolate smears on their face. You can only unbalance something for so long...and they did...
