Protect Wealth: Why it’s a bad idea to invest in the U.S. economy

Do you know how much the bailout is costing US tax payers? Not to mention the overseas prospectors around the world who are being hit by the global economic crisis? I would think of myself well attuned to economic news. For many years now I have been getting by as a writer on international living matters. It’s no news to me that the USD is dropping. But I discovered something today that I just couldn’t believe!

A disturbing turn of events

The following, and startling, facts are all based on a new report out from the National Bureau of Economic Research:

Simply put, the 2008 Economy bailout has cost the U.S. so far $8.5 trillion. Of course, you have all likely heard this already. These figures exceed beyond most people’s imagination… which is how the US government got away with this whole scam in the first place. To completely understand these amounts, though, allow us to put them in context by comparing them side by side to other expensive wars and government purchases since the American Revolution. This is where I couldn’t believe my eyes.

If we total it all up in current dollars, the total price of all of the following major US government capital outlays since the American Revolution, they come to $8.1 trillion. Yes, the end price for the list below is less than the total cost of this year’s economic bailout.

Here are the wars and initiatives we are talking about, shown in order of price the most expensive on top and the least expensive on bottom:

The Second World War
The complete budget of NASA
The Vietnam War
The Iraq War
The New Deal
The Korean War
The First World War
The Savings and Loan Crisis
Afghanistan/GWT
The Marshall Plan
The Gulf War
The US Civil War
The American Revolution
The War of 1812
The Louisiana Purchase

Yes that’s correct, you add up together the complete cost of all those things on the above list and the end result is still less than the total dollars the US has just spent on this year’s bailout! Read this report for yourself to get more info on the real price of fixing the economy.
