With the Obamanation throwing around trillions of dollars the way
previous administrations threw mere billions, there is real risk that
the value of money tomorrow will be significantly less than today's
value. So, if you can make a billion "today" via one action, or a few
billion "tomorrow" via another action, "paranoid prudence" would seem to
dictate "get the 'sure' billion NOW!"
