    If your inheritance is in the bank, then you're in trouble. When the US dollar collapses, your money will be worth nothing more than the paper it's printed on. You should invest in vintage Star Wars figures. Everyone loves Star Wars. When SHTF, a loaf of bread may cost $100,000 in paper "money", but you will be able to buy the entire bakery for a vintage Boba Fett figurine. Imagine what you could do with a boxed vintage Millennium Falcon.

    That's not my VIC-20. This is my VIC-20...
    I use it for programming complex algorithms.

    Yes having a mortgage hanging over your head like that would lend itself to feelings of insecurity.If something were to happen to your job it would be a huge loss to you.

    We really need to be sure we're spending our resources on things that matter. All this money we put into our military shipping them to Iraq wasn't entirely necessary... I hope we pull out from there soon and start taking care of the debt crisis fast...

    The war in Iraq has been funded largely with money borrowed from China.At present the U.S. is spending 10 billion a month to pay for the war in Afganistan.Osama Bin Laden when he was a muhajadeen fighting the Russians,claimed that the best way to fight a superpower is to bankrupt them.He was right then,he would be right now.
    It is fundamently immoral to fight foreign wars when your people are going without.It is "cannons over butter",charity begins at home.

    There is no job security in any country, the odds are very stiff. Most people are switching to online jobs and feel little secure there.

    I’ve got the greatest job in the world. There’s no other job in government where cause and effect is so tightly coupled where you can make a difference every day in so many different ways and in so many different people’s lives. It’s a great challenge.

    It is refreshing and indeed encouraging to read about people such as yourself who feel optomistic about the future and their jobs.We all need to hear from people like you as there are far too many negative people out there bringing us all down,with their gloom and doom predictions about the future of the worlds economies.
