  • A Strong U.S. Dollar Isn't in Anyone's Best Interest [View article]
    “A strong dollar is in our national interest,” still echoes through the air in the District of Columbia. Never mind that the strong dollar was largely responsible for the housing boom that led to the current bust."


    WHAT! The Dollar was falling fast during the Boom, cheap money and a weak Dollar is what drove housing prices so high. How can a strong Dollar drive prices up?

  • What's Another $1.15 Trillion? [View article]
    Nope, I can't solve the worlds problems in 5 minutes but the robbery is in clear sight. The money won't be paid back, if these companies had the ability to pay the money back they never would of needed it in the first place.

    The Fed purchased $300 billion in bonds today..where did that money come from? It came from the existing money in your pocket and bank account.

    the U.S is BROKE, it is a bankrupt country. We do not have a viable Economy. We do not have the ability to cover our obligations without increasing our money supply. We can not cover our Foreign Debts without inflating our money supply. When you increase the money supply you ROB the people. When you increase taxes to pay for the bailouts you are ROBBING the people.

    It does not take a Genius to see that we're being taken to the cleaners.

    Wake up

    and if Lawson Heals up I'm picking the Tar Heels to take it

  • What Is Going On With Gold? [View article]

    Paul - Yes I know. But at 20% we cannot afford to make the interest payment on our debt. We have much more debt then we had in the early 80's and our debt is now in short term treasuries!

    we're caught between a rock and a hard place and we have nowhere to move...

    Inflate or die

    Paul - Interest rates cannot go up to 25% at 25% the U.S cannot afford the interest payment and we would default.

    U.S Economoy Superior to the Japanese? Really?

    If we're superior then why do we need to borrow money from the inferior Japanese Economy just to stay afloat?

    The U.S Economy is a Ponzi scheme that is rapidly falling apart.
