Re- 'it will be hard for the buck to recover, IMHO. On WHAT?'
What has everyone from Marc Faber to Jimmy Rogers said about the Dollar? They're no longer short- because everybody else was.
I think the dollar will soon be pricing in an Obama election.
That means a pullout of Iraq- and saving $200 billion a year in war expenditures.
What did the dollar do under Democrat Bill Clinton?
What happned to our deficits and budget under Clinton?
I hate to say it- being a lifelong Republican- but, unless you own a global conglomerate, or are a Wall Street Invesment banker- or own an Oil company- you're probably worse off under the NeoCon fascists than you will be under the liberal Dems.
Yes- 'we' can 'trade' our way to profit by trading inflation- but what about our sons, daughers, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, friends, neighbors and co-workers- who aren't 'traders'- who would think that 'USO' had something to do with Bob Hope- versus being an ETF?
What about them?
Sure- 'WE' can financially 'fight back'- but, many of us own businesses- and our customers don't 'trade' gold, or oil- and our business losses exceed our trading gains. And they are getting crushed here. I'd give back my inflation trade profits for a sound dollar and a balanced budget any day.
Are we better off here - with the Bush legacy deficits being so large- that our grandkids will be paying the bill for two more generations?
Are we all so greedy- that we'll rationalize our trading profits on oil and gold- while our country and our neighbors crash and burn?
These greedy NeoCon military defense bastards just got 10 years of windfall profits- and guess what- It will be 10-12 years before they ever control the house, the senate, or win the presidency again.
I think the Dollar will soon price in a return to sanity.
Ron Paul was my candidate- but, here's a shocker- especially to crdesign- I will vote for Obama- and not McCain if that's the ticket in November- and I bet I won't be the only lifelong Republican doing that. It's not a vote FOR Obama- it's a vote AGAINST the neocons.
No more military-defense-oil cartel rape of America, with run away deficits for me, or my grandkids. No more getting nearly strip-searched at the Airport- while the Mexican borders remain open highways to drug smugglers and terrorists- as the NSA listens to my phone calls. No more $200 million dollar a year occupations of Iraq- while they don't repay us a penney, or a drop of oil- for saving their country- or returning it to them- like we did for the Saudis and the Kuwaitis- as WE pay the bill for saving Kuwait, the Saudi's and giving democracy to the Iraqi's who don't even want it!- and sure as hell aren't willing to fight for it. All they're willing to do is take our money,
McCain is a half-senile, 3/4 nut job- manchurian candidate stooge who is an economic idiot. After 8 years of Bush-Cheney- I'll take the liberals any day- and so will the Dollar.
The stock market is down and down big under Bush.
The dollar is down and down big under Bush.
The economy is down and down big under Bush.
Oil is up and up big under Bush.
Deficits are up and up big under Bush.
And you wonder- why I'd vote for Obama?
Because I'll never vote Republican again in my lifetime. Because they had their chance to stand up to the NEOCON nutjobs and they failed. Because they had a chance to stop deficit spending and they failed. Because they had a chance to stop run away inflation and they failed. Because they had a chance to stop the collapse of the dollar and they failed.
Libertarian, Independant, or Democrat by protest- but NEVER AGAIN Republican- not in my lifetime.
And I bet I won't be the only one voting this way come November.
