Governments can screw up a currency!

Day after day we are force-fed the typical mumbo-jumbo jargon memes from strategists, analysts, and asset-gethering commission-takers. Today we get a breath of fresh air from, arguably, the man on the street - whose perspective seems very prescient. 'Pawn Star' show business owner Rick Harrison explains to CNBC - in words that we can all understand - why gold remains a crucial insurance for people because "governments can screw up the currency," how our economy is based purely on printing money, physical gold and paper gold disconnects - "I'm having a real difficult time right now getting physical metal. It is the crazy world of gold and silver; sometimes the paper market is going down, but you can't actually find the physical items," and the increasingly bubble-like reality of our housing market (especially in Las Vegas).
