AR, you certainly bring up a very good point: Who is it owed to? I am not sure who it is. In some areas it could be "The Man", but who has that much money to lend?

The simple explanation is that gold is rising because confidence is falling. We are seeing way to many wrong decisions by those who should be making much better choices.
The main problem with debt is that it has to be repaid. Every third grade kid knows that. The problem with our government is that they know it will not be THEM who have to repay that debt.
For whatever reasons, elections do not seem to help, and the people that I vote for seldom get elected.
One way to force the improvement from elections would be the addition of one more choice: "NONE OF THE ABOVE." My hope would be that the humiliation of having all of their candidates totally rejected could result in better candidates being offered.
In the in6terim we have leaders thinking like Yardeni, only interested in fattening their own ledgers, and ignoring the reality that whatever benefits a speculator damages the consumer.
I certainly hope that the revolution will be through voting and not done with bullets and bombs, War hurts everybody! But I am not willing to bet on it being through the ballots.
For the individuals who are only concerned about making money, no matter what, if it is legal then they will do it. I have just been reading a textbook on business ethics, the section regarding what is legal versus what is ethical. IT seems that there can be quite a difference! But in a fairly free state such as the USA there is certainly a gap. That is the burden of freedom, in that we must individually make choices.
I would not choose to be a slave to making the most profit possible, either for myself or for others. One form of slavery is possibly just as bad as another, in my biased opinion. Biased in that I am opposed to all slavery.
Investing in oil futures can be profitable, but to protect the rest of humanity from a repeat of the past, all of the futures investing should be very tightly regulated. My solution would be to allow purchases only cash, no credit, leveraging, or other methods allowed. That might possibly reduce the damage that is done. Certainly it might be able to reduce the damage that can be done.
A pipeline transporting sewerage will begin to smell like a sewer after a while. And it is not likely to be used for drinking water again for a very long time.
The total demise of FB would not bother me one bit, it has become totally obnoxious. Of course the financial loss to investors will be painful, but perhaps the lessons learned may save others. One can only hope that learning does follow.
