Today King World News interviewed one of the wealthiest and most street-smart pros in the business, Rick Rule.

It takes their minds off of the fact that the government only takes in forty cents for every dollar it spends or that we have $65 trillion of unfunded liabilities going forward.”
Rick Rule continues:
“The fact that life goes on and we don’t have to face these unpleasant truths, this takes our mind off of some fairly scary math. The question becomes, how long can this go on? The reality here is that the Dow could easily fall to the 7,700 to 9,000 area and it wouldn’t surprise me.
