Think about it, what do we do with 30 million or so younger people, underemployed, with little chance of a comeback due to the impending dollar meltdown. The king has been naughty and has mixed lead in the gold coins again, thus devaluing the money. It is an old story, played out time and time again. Nothing changes, only the faces.
