  4. Richard Russell’s Thoughts “It's obvious to me that Barack Obama is following precisely in the footsteps of FDR. One item that Time magazine left out of their special issue is that through a series of gold-related actions, which culminated in the Gold Reserve Act of 1934, the US realized a dollar devaluation of 41%, when the government officially raised the price of gold from $20.67 to $35 an ounce.”

  5. Richard Russell’s Thoughts “On the economics, Obama can't pull off an official devaluation of the dollar, but by spending trillions of dollars in his plan to defeat the bear market recession, he is de factor devaluing the dollar against other leading world currencies.”

  8. Baby Boomers and Social Security % of income tax revenue • 2008- 14% • 2020- 27% and so on and so on CBO estimates to balance spending (tax rates) • 10% = 26% • 25% = 66% • 35% = 92% Since 1970, social security and Medicare spending has outpaced GDP by 2.5%

  9. Alice Rivlin The long term budget outlook: Impending Catastrophe

  10. Alice Rivlin’s Thoughts "No one needs to remind this Committee that the outlook for the federal budget is worrisome indeed, scary. Long before the financial crisis and the current deep recession, this Committee was anxiously pointing out that current federal spending and revenue policies are on a risky, unsustainable course. Promises made under the major entitlement programs (especially Medicare and Medicaid) will increase federal spending rapidly over the next couple of decades, as the population ages and medical spending continues to rise faster than other spending. Federal expenditures are projected to grow substantially faster than revenues, opening widening deficit gaps that cannot not be financed."This is an Impending Catastrophe!
