Do you remember the Jimmy Carter years? We learned some valuable lessons and the political right helped shape a rebirth of America. Unfortunately we forgot all of those lessons when bill clinton got elected. (the liberal press helped steal the election for bill) Hopefully, when we get rid of Mr.O we can get rid of those politicians who are only looking out for themselves and the love political power.

That means we have to stay on top of them. We cannot afford to put American politicians especially at the federal level on autopilot. They have to know their every move is being watched and we expect them to act responsibility. Learn the lessons, adjust fire and move on.

You overstate the importance of the Dollar, worldwide.

Following WW 11, there was the Bretton Woods agreement, the dollar was to be backed by gold, and was to be the world reserve currency. As good as gold was the moto.

The U.S. violated the terms of Bretton Woods, so they established the petro dollar and that extended the status of the dollar as the reserve currency.

Currently, China and Russia and the far east is purchasing the worlds gold reserve. It only stands to reason they are doing so to challenge the dollars status as a reserve currency.
Can they pull it off? who knows.

If you study the history of currency every "fiat" currency has failed!!

The dollars value is based on perception and the governments ability to tax the American citizen.

The rest of the world is at a disadvantage competing with the dollar.
They are not happy with that! We export our inflation.

We are turning into a country of deep debt, little actual production of goods etc...

We hamstring ourselves with environmental laws, excessive tax's and regulation etc...

We have dumbed down our citizens with pathetic public schools, we have invited and subsidized uneducated third world immigrants, who are a burden on our entitlements and the backs of the productive tax payers.

We have a huge government bureaucracy that cost us a fortune and produces nothing, in fact they hinder the productive people!

This path is not sustainable and other countries resent and hate us because of it, we are the fat spoiled rich kid!

Russia is one of the largest energy producers in the world and China is one of the largest energy consumers and they have recently established trade agreements to bypass the petro dollar and trade in their currencies or gold.

China and the rest of the world is delinking themselves from the dollar as we speak.
When it crashes they want to come out on top!

The old saying he who has the gold makes the rules, may be more true than we know?

The Federal Reserve is playing a lot of games to keep the collapse from becoming obvious for as long as possible. But once a country racks up more debt than it can ever hope to pay, it's done for.

Even the "official" figures show America to be 18 trillion dollars in debt and racking up more debt at the rate of 800 billion dollars a year,...and the official numbers leave out more than they acknowledge.

That's "end game". It's just a matter of time until the other shoe drops.


18 trillion is solvable. The unfunded liabilities are not. See the bottom line, right of center.

I spent half of my allowance on the dam things.

I'd stage a battle in the yard and then run the old reel type push mower through the battle field. The side with the least losses won the battle until next week when I'd buy reinforcements and start over again. crazy

Never happen. The Chinese are still protecting its value, by not letting it fully float against other currencies. By the way, it's called the "yuan". If you were in a 3rd World country and needed to bribe someone to get out, would you rather have US Dollars or Chinese Yuan? I know which one I'd take, which is the real value of the currency. Second for me would be the British Pound. The Yuan might make the top ten, but I doubt it.

If we keep printing money backed by nothing and another country has a sound currency backed by something.

I don't think any political ideology is driving the people who control this country.

They're just elite globalists. Everything they do is to benefit the elite globalists.

The well being of the people doesn't matter to them beyond the ability of the people to generate revenue for the government.

Last year Germany wanted to repatriate their gold and they were told it would take seven years?
They asked to view it and were told no, we arent set up for that?
They finally were able to send a small amount to Germany and the serial numbers were newly minted bars.
So what happened to the bars Germany had the fed hold?
