At today's prices - thanks to the "Federal" (like Federal Express) "Reserve" (with no reserves) "Bank" (private cartel of usurious Scrooges) - the value of this item is approximately (as of 04/15/08) $32,736,000,000.00, but that is only because these private bankers have been suppressing what the real price of gold would be today if adjusted for TRUE inflation. If the price of gold was not being artificially manipulated, it would be more than double today's price, and this lot would pay for the unfunded entitlement programs (Medicare, Social Security) we currently have in the United States. Without this much money, our society must collapse unless we do FAR MORE than end the war, we must roll back the size and scope of the federal government to less than half its current size. No politician is going to allow that! So buy this bargain-priced gold and use it to buy the 2008 election for Dr. Ron Paul, who will - if those bankers don't shoot him like they did the last president who dared to defy their will - return our economy to soundness with sound currency!
