And TPTB know this. So, what's their plan? a) get theirs while they can and ensure it is in something physical, before it all comes down, and b) inflate the fiat currencies to either "solve" the deficit so that paying those future promises becomes technical possible but physically meaningless (i.e., no social security, no federal pensions, etc), and/or cause the existing fiat to collapse completely so that a new system has to be created - probably solely electronic - and even more in their control.

c. All of the above. The millions of repo'd houses the banks are sitting on represent a store of real wealth.

I expect some of the big changes to happen in late 2013 at the end of the Fed's 100-year charter.
