January gold?

[Cornishfarmer]

People with more experience than me might have an idea.    On radio this morning they said 8 million people will struggle this month with too much spending over Christmas.   Does that mean that we should see more gold come up from HGM Atkinson’s and chards to pay for this?   @ChardLizzie

No, the people struggling with the bills are not people who buy bullion.

More lovely fiat debt created for greedy bankers...that's what they call a good Christmas.

Debt that must be repaid- unlike Government created fiat.  The fiat used to pay the interest the banker's interest has to come from somewhere - Government fiat created by past/present/future spending...

But they're practically the only ones spending at the moment - Government Spending cut (saving); business spending nonexistent (saving); trade deficit up (foreigner's saving); us lot squirrelling dosh away (saving).....  without their spending the economy would grind to a halt ?
