i'm a man with a plan (but no canal)

i'm not even an amateur at economics--"amateur" implies that i love it. on the contrary when i read about economics i mostly alternate between feelings of confusion and intense boredom.

that being said, as a read another article about bush's bone-headed social security privatization plan, all i could think about is what i should do to game the system to maximize my own personal profits should this thing actually ever be enacted (am i a rational actor or what?).

here's the plan: just before social security is partially privatized--i dump all my savings into the stock market. that way, i can take advantage of the short-term surge as formerly public money is poured into the greedy private hands of our capitalist masters. after the surge, i sell everything and convert all of my winnings profits into euros in some european bank. that should provide me with sufficient funds to flee the country when the dollar collapses because the chinese will no longer finance our national debt.

i haven't discussed it with mrs. noz yet, but it sounds like a good plan to me.
