Post navigation On August 22nd, a school bus crashed on the I-84 highway in Idaho, leaving 5 students (teenagers between the ages of 14-18) dead and injuring at least 20. The driver, though not charged yet, is suspected to have driven recklessly in a construction zone. Governors Little and Brown have expressed their condolences to the families of the victims and are working with safety experts and officials to help prevent similar tragedy from occurring in the future. A downgrade of U.S. debt shows that the government is less reliable, making gold an attractive safe haven. While gold prices have been volatile for the past few weeks, in the long run it might be wise to hold some gold. This is especially true for those who are concerned about the economic uncertainly a debt downgrade could bring.
