Yup, higher debt loads drive the USD down and we are ramping it up

Trillions in bailouts and reduced income tax revenue = more money printing..

Soon I'll be making kites in my backyard out of greenbacks

And now we're told we have to 'spend more' to save the economy (says Barney Frank) and according to the President, we need expensive health care 'reform' to REDUCE health care costs.

Thats right, the 16 year olds we like to mock on this forum are in charge of the government's credit card

I've been watching it closely the last 2 years. Maybe you guys should revisit and un-lock my thread.

Dollar is done son.



Fail to plan. Plan to fail.

The world has caught onto what Greenspan and Bernanke have being doing. World is dumping your dollar. Look at gold, even tonight it is past $1000. If you haven't bought gold/silver yet. You better soon. The Chinese are doing that as we speak. Just imagine just 100 million Chinese buying at least 1 ounce each? You do the math.

just finished watching all 5 parts... interesting enough and be that as it may, what can you really do about it? there isn't much you can do to prevent it from happening if it is all true... just know how to play the game and make the best of it...

one things for sure, to design and develop this plan over 60-100 years ago is genius...
