Our cash has always been fiat money. Once the last wire making plant closes in the US what exactly are you going to do with that 100lbs of copper? You will sell it to some fat chinese copper for food shop for whatever the owner feels like giving you because you have no other options. Metals have value because of industy, which is why most of the scrap you guys sell is going out of the country (little industry left here in the US to need it in raw form).
The fiscal cliff is a sad joke, a bunch of *******s arguing over paying bills that have already run up. The two parties are just dealing on how fast to screw the non rich. Look how much of the budget goes to the military and what we get for that, it will never be cut even if the old and young have to starve to keep it going. The debt doesn't matter (as most republicans have stated over the years) because nobody has any intention of ever paying it down or off. Once the rich get all they can out of the country they will just leave, globalization has made it easy (and profitable) to **** where you eat.
