John Rubino of DollarCollapse.com joined us for a free ranging discussion of the current economic and social trends. GAAP accounting for the federal government shows big trouble ahead, to the tune of a $220 trillion ideficit. However, help is on the way. Marijuana liberalization is going to lead to higher prices and higher returns. It's all part of the West's generational economic decline. Where it will take us is anyone's guess, but the future is indeed in question.

Recently a professional programmer and developer was discovered to have been outsourcing his work to a number of Chinese software developers. He consistently received high praise and recognition in his employee reviews and was acknowledged to be the best programmer in the building. In reality, he probably the best manager in the building. He had masterfully subcontracted his employee duties, producing code that was well written, clear and effective. What you ask was he doing during his purported work hours, why watching cat videos, updating Facebook and Linkedin and participating in eBay auctions. Sounds like a model employee to me.

Here's the link. http://thenextweb.com/shareables/2013/01/16/verizon-finds-developer-outsourced-his-work-to-china-so-he-could-surf-reddit-and-watch-cat-videos/

The Freedom Girl is the next coin in Chris's amazingly successful series of private label silver coins. While not yet legal tender, it is one pure ounce of silver, and it makes a great political statement too. On a more serious note, we talked about German gold repatriation, 7 years to give back 1500 tons, pretty slow even for the US Government. Also, we see a lot of action in the metals markets that were previously quite moribund. There's a reason for all this and it will come to the forefront shortly.

We caught up again with Diana Zoppa. Gold and silver look like they're ready to bust out very shortly, perhaps even now. So you need to be saving your money up, to buy metals and to help maintain your lifestyle. From saving money on gasoline, to food, to clothing or just living, we covered it all. Next week we'll be talking about saving travel dollars. Travel costs have risen rapidly, due to increased energy costs and inflation. Getting a deal on travel can save you hundreds even thousands.

In the wake of the horrible Newtown school massacre, the Obama administration felt compelled to do something, anything, even if it won't solve the problem, which of course it can't. From universal backround checks, to assault rifle bans, to high-capacity magazine bans, the President's bag of air comes up short in every way. The fact is that the majority of murders happen in the dysfunctional cities, largely controlled by Obama and politicians of his ilk. All too often, the criminals involved have grown up in homes without fathers in large public housing projects. It's no wonder that New Orleans's murder stats are up there with El Salvador. This is just politics as usual.

Gail Tverberg believes that we live in a world of finite resources. She believes that escalating oil prices will bring down the US's standard of living and put the country in a perma-recession. To her, the shale gas and oil boom will not change the world's future energy trends. While we may not be running out of oil, recovery costs will continue to increase, which will be bad for us all. While we agree with certain parts of Ms. Tverberg's thesis, the shale oil and gas booms are real and sustainable. We'll be having Dr. Frackenstein on to help explain and prove why this is so. Just have a look at the chart below and decide for yourself.

If you're an entrepreneur and you're starting a business, you're going to plan for success. But you also need to plan for succession. That means thinking about your exit plan up front, rather than doing what most people do, which is worry about it later. This means you need to build an organization where you're not indispensable and where you've trained employees to take your place. If you've done this, you'll either be ready to sell out or to retire from the day to day operations.

Andy Tanner is all about educating people about their retirement alternatives. He believes that relying upon a 401(k) plan won't get you a comfortable retirement. Rather, you need to invest in precious metals and to acquire cash flow positive assets. That way you'll be getting a monthly income to pay your current expenses and you'll be able to minimize your need to tap into your investment principal. Remember, financial education is at a premium. You don't get enough when you're young and in school, and it's extremely hard to get it when you're raising a family and working on your career. The only advice is to not wait and start getting it now!

Coming to terms with your expected lifespan and understanding your future financial needs will enable you to take the necessary steps today, to insure that your retirment is fulfilling and that your material needs are taken care of. You'll either do it now, or it will be done for you later. The choice is yours.

Julian DW Phillips has been investing in the precious metals markets for over 4 decades. He's seen Bears and Bulls come and go. He believes we're in the midst of a major precious metals boom now, which will continue into the foreseeable future. However, this creates certain problems for ordinary investors. As governments around the globe go broke, and gold is re-monetized, there will be a scramble on to confiscate your gold. After all, how is the government going to pay the soldiers and the workers if paper money loses its value? The answer is with gold and they're going to have to get it from someplace and confiscation will be the means of doing so. Protect yourself now and you won't have to worry later.

Just like Pawn Shop tv shows are sweeping Hollywood, they're also taking over Beverly Hills. Business is so good at the Beverly Loan Company that they're opening one in New York City. This is the place where the rich and famous come to pawn their high value possessions in exchange for short term loans that yield 4 percent per month! At rates like these, even Bank of America or the other too big to fail banks couldn't lose money. But what's a rich person to do when they need some cash and don't want to bother with the paper work?

Ralph De Costa Nunez has been fighting poverty and homelessness since he was an official with former Mayor Edward Koch's administration in New York City. He believes that government must take the lead in this fight and that it must impose strict rules and limitations in forcing those it wants to help get off of dependency. Unfortunately these programs have been an unmitigated failure since their inception. In addition, he is a stalwart supporter of public education, believing that it is the only system capable of educating large numbers of immigrants. He has no confidence that the private sector can solve the problem.

President Obama proclaimed that, "We are not a Deadbeat Nation." We must pay the nation's bills even if it means we go bankrupt doing it and the currency becomes worthless. As Andy has stated over and over again, the system cannot be saved. While the can can be kicked down the road multiple times, seemingly to infinity, there's really no way to save the stinkingly corrupt, fraudulent and bankrupt financial system. This is good and bad. Great societal changes will take place affecting every man woman and child in the world. We actually have an opportunity to change course and move to an honest system. Before that happens, you must own gold and silver to insure your wealth during what will be incredibly unstable and risky times.

Daniel Nelson got engaged in a dialog with several left-leaning members of his extended family. From that debate, he wrote a book. He contends that there's nothing wrong with earning money honestly and ethically and that quite the contrary, it actually helps one to lead a better and more whole life. He gives many examples, both from his own experience

Greg Hunter of www.USAWatchDog.com understands the deceit and lies spewed forth by the mainstream media first hand. It's because he gets that he started his site. And he's had some high powered guests recently. From Catherine Austin Fitts to Dr. Laurence Kotlikoff. And each believe for perhaps different reasons that the US is reaching a tipping point. Where we go from here is anyone's guess, but the odds are it will be tough sledding ahead. Which is why gold and silver are so important.

Some people never learn. New York City's Mayor Michael The Nanny Bloomberg is one of them. He's been a major gun grabber for years. Along the way he's gone after cigar smokers, transfats, baby formula and Big Gulp sodas. He has to be the all time greatest buzzkill. He likes his hot dogs, we like our fries, why can't we all just get along? But no sooner does The Nanny ban extra large sodas, now he's after your pain meds. He instructed New York City's socialized medical institutions to limit such prescriptions, even if it means more patient suffering. Who does this guy think he is?

Pastor Britt Minshall didn't start out in the clergy. Rather he founded a private security company on the Jersey Shore after his participation in the Freedom Riders Movement ended his prospect of becoming a police officer. From there, he had a religious experience which transformed his life and he went on to lead several churches. He's written a number of books and believes the key to solving society's problems is to stop being afraid and to connect with our fellow humans. Once we do this on a large scale a truly remarkable transformation will take place.

Trace Mayer is a long term proponent of BitCoin. He believes that the government will be unable to control it or stop it. Therefore, he sees a bright future for it and that even GoldMoney is thinking about accepting it for bullion purchases. Because the quantity is limited and governments can't create more, the BitCoin value has been increasing. As more people and companies embrace this standard, it will be even more difficult, since a virtually infinite amount of computing power would be required to stop it.

Judge David Minier (Ret.) still tries cases around California and is a diehard advocate for liberty. He's sees Obama confiscating guns, restricting economic opportunity and completely undermining the American way of life. He believes that if we don't start fighting back soon, your children and their children will be condemned to a life of tyranny. Socialists always claim that if only the right people were running things, it would succeed. However, we all know that this is never case. Socialism, collectivism and statism are at their core failures, and their proponents always blame it all on capitalism. America must wake up to these facts soon, or face dire consequences.
