any kind of government bonds is just a way to scam investors money. Seriously, double the value of your investment in, freakin 20 years??? Are you kidding me? What that really means is that either inflation is going off the roof and the intrinsic value of your dollars cannot keep up. Sorry, but no thank you.

I'll take Mene gold hands down. At least I know I have some real value in gold instead of fiat currency.
