What happened to Illinois is what happened to Puerto Rico and what's happening in other states, like New Jersey and Massachusetts and such, spend spend spend, free everything, no motivation for people to go out get educated in some form of profession or trade, just sit at home waiting on a check, or EBT card.... that has to stop.
People need to become independent and stop being so dependent on government assistance.
Definitely get silver at these low prices, and get out of the fiat dollar.
