Can a Market Crash Save Us from Hyperinflation?

Wealth gets political influence. A collapse of the markets will limit the power of the wealthy but only temporaraly as the generated low stock prices will offer them new oppertunities to become more powerful.

What Really Backs the U.S. Dollar?

Money today is the paper representation of the value of labor. The real imbalance is the introduction of very cheap labor from Asia. The dollar is adjusting down to account for the fact labor has been devalued. The moving of factories goods and services to this new lower value area makes the promise on the USD bill less real.

John McLaughlin: More Clueless Economic Banter

www.theglobeandmail.co.../

Our dollar (Canadian went vertical this month) as a petro-dollar dispite the fact the oil is priced in USD not CAD. So oil goes up because oil is priced in devalued USD when sale is complete we convert the now more numerous USD into more CAD. This demand drives CAD up. If oil is to go to 100 or higher again Canada will be forced to devalue CAD or no one will be able to afford our other commodities and our recession gets worse

Rising Interest Rates Signal 'Hyperinflationary Depression'

In the depression the US was the worlds lender. The world suffered because the US could no longer capitolize other markets.

Today the US is the worlds borrower. Hyper inflation in the US causes the people ( nations ) they borrowed money from to lose their wealth. Yes the buying power of US citizens will drop but the other nations will not be able to sell their products unless they

1 Devalue their own currencies
2 Buy us debt ( FED rate has to climb )
3 Drop prices so US can buy
4 Write off US debt and move on

The idea that the capitolist world would move to a communist China as a world monitary standard is repugnant.

The Euro will collapse before the USD on the shock of Spain, Greece and Italy along with Eastern Europe debt defaults.

My bets in this global poker game are still with the US
