Underground Economy - Printing of $100 Bills Soars

Cash Is King: Printing of $100 Bills Soars





The Underground Economy is nothing new. However, it's my opinion that more and more people are "withdrawing" from the craziness in Washington at an alarming rate and are now convinced that ANYTHING is possible with Obama doing another 4 year stint.... so they're dropping off the Government's radar and embracing the Underground Economy in a big way. Drug dealers aside, I think you're seeing a new form of Conscientious Objector when it comes to taxation and unbridled Government spending. This, together with the recent gun control chatter, is pushing more and more US citizens over the threshold of taking matters into their own hands - literally.

I think more and more concerned middle-class parents have quietly begun transferring their wealth to their kids in the form of cash (and other tangible assets) in an attempt to by-pass the estate tax hatchet of an administration that they perceive as having gone off the tracks.

I can't ever remember cocktail conversations drifting to this subject as I have over the last year.
