Gold and Silver slammed against the wall

ECB cuts rate to 1.0%
(Reuters) - The European Central Bank acted to soften a looming recession and avert a credit crunch in the debt-plagued euro zone by cutting interest rates on Thursday as European Union leaders prepared for a crucial summit.
The ECB cut its main rate by a quarter-point to a record low 1.0 percent as anxiety over the worsening sovereign debt crisis drowned out concern about above-target inflation.
ECB President Mario Draghi was expected to announce further action to support teetering banks with longer term credit at a news conference at 1330 GMT. He has signaled the central bank may act more decisively if an EU summit on Friday agrees to move towards fiscal union in the euro area.
European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso appealed to European leaders holding their eighth crisis summit of the year to put aside sharp differences to support their common currency.

Jim Rogers: US Falling Into Deeper Trouble
From newsmax.com:
The United States economy never really emerged from the recession that began in 2008 and is possibly headed for a more chronic depression, and the prognosis for recovery doesn't look good, especially in 2013, says international investor Jim Rogers.
President Barack Obama has tried to spend the economy back into recovery, which never helps, Rogers told Newsmax.TV in an exclusive interview.
When an economy falls into a recession, which normally happens once every four to six years, it needs to run its course, which is painful but healthy in the long run.
Spending money via stimulus packages or through ultra-loose monetary policies resuscitates the economy but not for long and makes the day of reckoning even more painful when it arrives.
