If your million is in gold, silver etc. you may be ok, unless the government decides to seize it. and if it is not in gold or silver and there is an severe economic colapse chances are the dollar will be worthless.

I've never really understood the notion that somehow one can sort of side step something like economic collapse. The dollar represents America's wealth. And, since our wealth is and has been strong, for the most part, for all of our history as a nation, the other nations of the world invest with us. The point is if we are broke, how does gold or silver still have value since the two's value are based in the dollar? Believe me, I'm not being contentious here with my remarks.

Example, in Germany in 1923 the rate of exchange fell to 8000 marks per dollar. Eventually, food prices had 12 zeros per item, say, a pound of butter was 6,525,000,000,000 marks. If something like that were to happen in the US how would one sell a gold bar? Here's the dollar amount equivalent for a 1000 gram gold bar if hyperinflation such as hit Germany were to occur here, 55,178,000,000,000,000.00 dollars. By my reckoning that is 55 thousand, 178 trillion dollars. Who would have that much money and, why would anyone want dump truck loads of worthless paper dumped in their yard if it was even possible to round that much of the stuff up? I mean, one would need a way to spend it, right? We're screaming bloody murder around here about a mere 14 trillion of debt for the whole nation.

Someone quoted a scripture regarding this matter on here, this one came to mind for me, Ezekiel 7:19 " They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity. " The world wide economic collapse will happen prior to the days of the one world government. ( the global community will coalesce) The exact details really aren't all that important but, that time of testing will come to call. Citizens of the US at one time not so long ago felt in control of this country. Now things feel 'out' of our control. I intend to put up a fight with my vote and yet, I wonder if the irresistable push of prophesy isn't what we are feeling?
