As far as faith in the American Dollar is concerned, there has been a global paradigm shift. During the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008, the U.S. Congress held closed door sessions to discuss the economic crisis. Officials from President George W.

The only question now is how to protect yourself from economic collapse?
