i know. it was hard.

the united states is currently sitting on about 400 trillion dollars worth of 24k gold... liquidating just a fraction of it eliminates our debt.

tabula rasa.

261,498,899.31 fine troy ounces with a book value of $11,041,058,821.09 but a market value of $420 billion at current prices. That's assuming you could get that price if that much hit the market.

treasury dept.'s inspector general supposedly makes sure its all there once a year, but nobody else is allowed in to verify his numbers.

I think it has only been inspected like three times since 40's. It is very very secret. Most people think we have given most of it away buying back US Currency from other countries.

The Chinese have most of the gold today.

That's one I had never fully watched until a Bond movie marathon 10 or so years ago.
Ursula was also pretty hot in that soft core porn flick.
