This market is dead. It probably means we are going to see volatility kick up a notch in 2018. However I'm quite skeptical about silver making gains by leaps and bounds. Tax cuts with higher spending on infrastructure in a zero rate environment means the economy will expand fueling an economic bubble to the likes we've never seen. I think this may go on for years before the crash. We should have taken the pain in 2009 but unfortunately this will be one of the biggest roller-coaster rides ever. Enjoy the move up while you can
There is no getting around the fact, the longer they delay the infrastructure problems, the more costly it will become and the less likely we'll ever be able to afford it.
Lets put it this way, is it better to tackle the problem today even if we can never pay the bill or wait until we are in financial ruins and never able to tackle it at all?
Everyone seems to think we are doomed anyway so why not make something good happen while we can.
The problem I see is the crooked politicians using at least half the money if not more for pet projects that have no business on an infrastructure repair list to begin with to secure votes for upcoming bills or other favors to be named later!!!
We have to repair and replace so much of the above ground systems like roads, bridges and our power supply at who knows what cost.
Where do we draw the line on Toledo, Cleveland, Detroit, Boston when it comes to replacing all the failing water and sewer systems in these older cities from coast to coast.
They are all failing and being patched back together to some degree. Sooner or later they have to be abandoned or replaced.
Fortunately we'll be able to just disregard all those old cable and telephone lines buried under ground in the not to distant future and that will probably hold true for our electrical lines eventually.
Yes someday we will probably have our own waste disposal systems in our homes and no longer in need of those ancient sewer lines and we can drink our own recycled Piss when it's sparkling clean.
All great for the future homes built in the new subdivisions where there never was utility support in the past, but what about all those older cities relying on the ancient ways for decades and even centuries to come?
And of course there is one tiny problem, some places have upgraded their systems with higher utility bills and are not in need of repairs as the people have already paid for it locally.
So how do the other places that have kept their profits instead of reinvesting them in their infrastructure or kept their utility rates abnormally low and never upgrade anything until it breaks. Are the rest of us suppose to come to their rescue after paying for our own upgrades? Is that any different than telling me because I have to pay very high property taxes to support above average schools for our children that I'm suppose to pay even higher taxes to raise other peoples schools to our standards now because they can't or choose not to pay for better schools for their children? Actually I don't pay any school taxes anymore, that was just an example.
When will we have to buy new cars for those that can't afford to pay for cars like the ones others drive and pay for with their own hard earned money?
Maybe the time is coming for Toledo, Detroit and many other older cities that have fallen into disrepair to be flattened and started over again in the older sections as it becomes necessary.
People around the world have been doing it for thousands of years and those old cities are only a few hundred years old at best with few properties still standing that old.
Whatever is done is not going to be cheap and not popular with lines drawn in the sand as to who pays for what and what will even be considered for government repair, as the government could never pay for everything for everyone.
It's not going to be easy or cheap and the longer we put it off the less chance we have to pay for any of it, let alone all of it that needs to be done.
