yup, at least until 2ndHalf Recovery in 2004, maybe 2006 but before then, hang onto your testicles and assorted genitalia
a USDollar Decline will turn into a monster problem it will keep falling and not get up an economic limp dick caught in a vise afterwards, it wont fit into anything they will cut it off, and put it in a museum
then comes the real action with the New USDollar with partial backing by gold (and perhaps also silver) some people think such thoughts to be insane watch, wait, watch more, in horror
no internal mechanisms exist for stopping the dollar decline industrial mechanism is long gone with mfg in Asia & Mexico monetary mechanism is being dismantled now with Fed Monetization has anyone noticed the trade gap widening despite 20% dollar decline ??? just like the Jackass predicted
the USDollar did well, while it lasted few people realize the dollar lost 50% value between 1985 and 1988 versus the Swiss Franc imagine that happening now onliest trouble is that we Americans have abused debt 4-5x more irresponsibly than 15 yrs ago so the punishment is much more harsh by the marketplace
we can focus on energy prices all we want the real problem is that energy supplies are priced in dollars so the dollar lost 10% since November and gasoline rose 10% in price since November we instead place blame on the Arabs, those devils!!! the problem is with the dollar, chums
gonna get much worse it is a vexing problem and tragic sight to observe an entire nation suffer a 30% wealth destruction 2001 recession was a dressed rehearsal the MAIN ACT has just started, the primary recession
complete with lies, deception, false reporting, distractions, scapegoats, and pathetic understanding why
because of extreme levels of debt of shipped off mfg abroad of overconsumption of irresponsible Congressional spending of expensive socialism of worldwide police sentry and law enforcement and plain stupid Keynesian Monetarism failing on a grand stage
Happy Valentine's Day, all you girls who I wish I could have if only within arm's reach (which arm? you guess)
