Bob Moriarty ArchivesFeb 11, 2019I talked about Benchmarkback in October of 2018. Even though gold and silver have done well since then, the juniors still suck. BNCH was $.25 then and $.185 now.

Much like the soldier during the Vietnam War who notably quipped - We had to kill the village to save it, Paul Krugman probably believes that we need to kill the economy before it can be saved. He should be thrilled with the Trump Admin's debt on steroids policy. After all Krugman was always saying the answer to what ails the economy is debt and more debt.
