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. Bush’s administration and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned Congressmen that if huge taxpayer bailouts were not passed, the country would suffer economic Armageddon. Administration officials threatened riots, bank runs and martial law. Since the crisis, massive inflation and a worldwide loss of confidence in the dollar ensued. Financial experts like Jim Rogers and Peter Schiff, continued to predict the dollar collapse and the Next Great Depression. The only question now is how to protect yourself from economic collapse?
