Gold ads keep saying the government is spending us into
bankruptcy and runaway inflation (the claim looks accurate to me, by the way), so it’s only a matter
of time before our government bonds become worthless or drastically devalued, I
should think. But how to get this idea across to the older generation?
Oh, wait: I think I have an idea! Why not have Gary U.S.
Bonds, a musical artist the older crowd is bound to be familiar with, shill for
gold! With what kind of commercial, you might ask? Why, how about this:
Gary U.S. Bonds could say that with all the government
spending and the national debt crisis, U.S. government bonds are not the good
investment they used to be. And that’s why he’s changing his name to Gary Gold,
named after the most reliable investment hedge around: gold.
