U.S. Economy Is Growing Again?

I have owned a Ford Escort for nearly 20 years and I traded it in for a 09 Ford Focus. With the Ford Escort they recommended that I change my oil every 3,000 miles with my Ford Focus they recommend that I change my oil every 6,000 miles. Is this progress or what?

By the way, I am more than satisfied with my Ford Focus.

The dollar is accepted as legal tender by most central bankers: and, as I watch a squire climb a tree in my neighbor’s backyard, I know the central banks are the store house for excess dollars. I think that our economy is not experiencing the economic dislocations caused by too much currency because these central banks act as the black hole for excess dollars.

I also think that national currencies being used as a global currency is an un-stainable way of conducting global trade, so the global currency system must be changed in order for global trade to function effectively.

Your analysis does not take into consideration this global currency imbalance and, once the currency change does occur, the consequence to the US economy. So it is easy for you to say our economy is improving, when, in reality, our economy will imploded once the dollar is not longer accepted as global legal tender.

Will 'Self-Preservation' Work After Decades of Fiscal Suicide?

Jeff is correct, America is fast approaching the point where central bankers will no longer accept the dollar as legal tender; once this happening occurs, our policy wonks will no longer be in charge of their own destiny, their focus will be on getting the best deal possible.

Before the dollar goes from a global currency to a national currency, I expect interest rates to go up dramatically, budget management a priority, and the Americans to finally understand that it is earnings, and not money production, that creates wealth and fuels prosperity.

Ford: Positioned to Lead Growth Segments of Auto Industry

Not to be prideful, but in October 2008 I purchased a 2009 Ford Focus and prior to that I owned a Ford Explorer for 19 years. I live in San Francisco and I move around the city via public transit.

I get my ford serviced at the local dealership, and with my Ford Explorer I was told to come back every 3.000 miles. With my ford focus I am told to come back every 6,000 miles; progress, for sure.

So not only is Ford increasing the reliability of their vehicles but they are decreasing the ongoing upkeep cost; for years, Ford has, as one of their core values, quality of vehicles.

It seems that their values are working through the system and finally coming to fruitarian.
