“If we’re going to finance budget deficits by printing money, we may have high inflation, even risk of hyperinflation in some countries. That’s what happened in Germany in the 1920s during the Weimar Republic. We are having large budget deficits and increasing the public debt, we don’t know whether it’s going to be $5 trillion or $10 trillion of more debt. But there are only a few ways of resolving that debt problem: either you default on it as countries like Argentina did; or you use the inflation tax to wipe out the real value of the debt; or you have to raise taxes and cut government spending. And given the size of the deficits, over time that’s going to be a painful political choice to make.” - Nouriel Roubini, June 11, 2009 
"It's going to end in a complete disaster. But, we have to distinguish - the disaster may not happen for five to ten years. But we're heading into an iceberg. And, what will eventually happen is that the population will suffer very badly from inflation and declining real wages. The establishment, including the government, will protect itself. And when everything becomes very bad and you have simultaneous, essentially, a recession/depression . . . Unemployment goes higher goes higher than 10%, say maybe 15%. When that doesn't improve, they'll go to war. And nobody can pay for the war so you print more and more money, and you have hyperinflation, and then the system goes. That's why I'm telling everybody, you ought to own some land, and you ought to own some stocks and you ought to own some gold or a lot of gold and other precious metals. Because paper money and bonds are very vulnerable over the next five to ten years." - Dr. Marc Faber, legendary investment adviser, March 3rd, 2010
