It happened under FDR, it can happen again.

Keep in mind that Time Magazine portrayed him as the NEW, New Deal.

The only answer, is a universal virtual credit currency unit that is traceable for each and every transaction carried out.

No more theft, as every valuable item either bought or sold would have a unique id number that traces to the unique id number of the parties involved in the transaction.

It seems easy for your identity to be stolen now. Wouldn't this make it easier to lose all your money if everything is "online"?

Well, I don't think it will be outright confiscation...but I do think they might create a law that says, "You are required by law to forfeit any gold that you have and we will give $x dollars for it. Just like they did in the 30's.
 Quoting: TheGasMan



Unless you are completely without funds to survive, you can hold that gold "quietly" and give you your heirs.

There's a simple solution to this...

Put all of your money into baseball cards, comic books and action figures.
Hopefully they shouldn't confiscate it. tounge



Food, booze and cigs would be the ideal investment alternative though.

When there is uncertainty aplenty, investors actually do this and I'm not joking.
