It's true. But let me give you an example that may hit you closer to home. What was Manhattan purchased for? Come one, tell us?
I'm not challenging what our debt is, I just don't see how precious metals are going to become more valuable than food or water should hyperinflation create shortages in them.

I'm not sure how purchasing Manhattan relates to anything being discussed re: hyperinflation or the role precious metals would play in a new economy where basic survival staples need to be secured in place of currency. Is there a source for the story about Germany?
