An alternative to another world reserve currency, or in addition, would be to introduce a competitive currency for our debased D.C. dollar.
Is the Fed just debasing the currency? Is it time for dual currencies here in America? Perhaps a Fed Reserve West in the heartland, with a N.A. dollar (North American dollar), with tight bank management controls, good IT team, and transparency and accountability, especially when temptation (creating money) is at the door or window. Start the 2 currencies at par. Then let all Americans decide what currency they prefer in transactions, both personal and for business accounting. A more limited supply increases the value of any commodity, including a currency; hence protecting the value of a currency. There is too much money out there idling already; more geenbacks by the Fed is not the solution; too much debt is the problem. Debt city or deleveraging city (D.C.) what's the call - America?]]>

The more debt the gov runs up, the higher yields rise, and hence interest rates. Therefore this further shuts down the housing market. Why not get debt down, yields down, and hence interest rates down for houses, cars, and consumers in general? Thus the quickest way for the economic tide to rise for all of us? Is this too simple a plan to advance and execute? Forgot about the big banks; most of the banking system (8000+) is stable.]]>

Bring in Thain as Fed Reserve Bank top manager, together with an IT team to replace and upgrade software for security and reliability. Then bank management team. One needs bank management controls, and accountability and transparency, in order to minimize debt, other than congressional/adm budget debt, of course. The Fed has already shot an enormous wag, with NO result. It's time for a change to a conservative play. Close the windows! Bring in a team and a bank manager as head - Thain]]>

Can anyone stop the D.C. Debt Machine of the Fed, Congress, and new and old administration? Who can say NO to more debt? Must it be the marketplace - old fashion basic supply and demand?

Plosser: Prior to the crisis, Fed lending typically amounted to less than 1% of total Fed assets; now it's nearly 50%. Says he's not worried about deflation, but that the Fed must help anchor market expectations or risk self-fulfilling prophecies. http://seekingalpha.com/news/market_currents/post/12419?source=feed#comment-319457 319457 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 00:12:25 -0500 Shorting U.S. Government Risk http://seekingalpha.com/article/108124-shorting-u-s-government-risk?source=feed#comment-316461 316461 Thu, 27 Nov 2008 22:37:21 -0500
