Check it out and see if you can figure it out. I'm still thinking.

    Gold is $1400 an ounce. How many ounces will you need to hold you over for 1 year? How many guns, ammo, food and fuel can you buy for $1400? Which is really the better deal? I say product. You get more for your money and when you sell your goods in trade for gold you will get all the gold you need at a better price. How will gold be bartered? 1/10 ounce = 1 tank of gas? Or does 1 oz = tank of gas?

    On the gold coins it says:
    1/10 ounce coin $5
    1/4 $10
    1/2 $25
    1oz $50

    Now how does 2 1/10 oz coins have the same $ value as a 1/4 oz with 5% LESS gold?

    Or 2 1/4 oz coins has the same amount of gold but $5 less in buying power than a single 1/2 ounce coin.

    Is it not strange that 10 1/10 oz, 2 1/2 oz and 1 1oz all have the same gold and $ value. But the 1/4 oz seems to be the buzzard coin. You either have to have 5 of them or 1.25 oz to = the same value of the other coins?

    The news reported that this months Annual Vacation by our president and his family will be to a top-scale resort, the cost about $5 million for the 8 days. The reporter went on to say that this shouldn't alarm taxpayers because the president is paying for it with his own money because he is independently wealthy.

    A review of our presidents tax return shows his net worth at $3.6 million; his sources of income being royalties/publishing revenue from his three books, none of which remain on any best seller list and his salary for president $200,000 per year, increased this year despite sequestration to $400,000.

    So I'd like to know how anyone can afford an eight day vacation that will cost more than their entire net worth and income for the next year or two. Once I learn how it is done, maybe I can make reservations with the Alaska Outfitters for a trophy Dall Sheep hunt.

    So if I want to trade silver coin, how do we figure out the sales price!

    Seems odd to me.

    Minute rice. Ya put it in boiling water then remove it from the heat and let it NOT cook. So i guess you just "make" minute rice instead of cookin' it. Modern technology is something else.

    It's that new math. I can show you how 1=2 in a very convincing way.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    If I heard right on the news this Morning I think the only part he is paying for is the multi-million dollar house they are renting

    Ray,
    What news reported this?

    I don't understand the "this month's Annual Vacation" part at all.

    And I think that the first President to make the $400k salary was GWB.
    That happened in January of 2001. And a well deserved increase from the big bump that Nixon got when it doubled from the $100k Truman got in 1949.

    Frankly, I suspect that George Washington was the only one who got anything near what the job was worth in 1789 at $25k per year. Which was a lot.

    I'm missing the point that you're trying to make.

    Throw in the free government perks and his income cant be measured using the USD scale.


    Drawing a government check, two kids = $2,000 to $3,000 food stamps.

    $20 to $30,0000 a year tax refund.

    Free Obombbag phone = Another $400 to $600 a month savings.

    Like all of the rest that leaches the government tit. They eat steak while the rest of us are stuck with bologna.

    From your comment I'm inferring that your comprehension problem is due to a partisan perspective.
