There isn't nearly enough gold in Fort Knox to cover the debt.

Right, but it's easy and it's a start.

The trouble is, when you flood the market with that
gold, doesn't the price go down?

Likewise, if you start dumping federal lands onto
the market, isn't *that* going to depress the
market?

Oh, it probably would hold up for quite a while. It will take some time for
the new Chinese government owners to strip the last stick of timber off of
it, and then they have a lot of digging to do, to get all of the minerals.
