Not surprisingly, Blumert is a close friend of libertarian presidential candidate, Ron Paul, and both think that the US would be better off using gold as a form of currency in lieu of paper money. The catch is that in order for gold to prevail, the current system has to crumble. "Many of my clients would like to be standing in the rubble of our society saying, 'I told you so,'" Blumert says. So, the bottom line is that our economy bites and if you know anyone who has invested a significant amount of money in gold, you should ask if you can share their pile of rubble after the revolution comes. If you have a sweet tooth, feel free to share my rubble pile where the gold coins are filled with delicious milk chocolate. Yarrrr. –Andy Wright
