yes, I think the new Trez $bills is a huge huge warning
I believe they are preparing for a near default
for a massive dollar devaluation
45% of TBonds are held by foreigners
DeptTrez claims they are making new orange-tinted bills in order to stave off counterfeiting
I believe that is a bold lie
I believe it is to create a financial firewall to protect the domestic economy from a foreign run on the dollar
maybe it will lead to a foreign version of TBonds
ugh, lousy, ugly

the new $100's were to stave off counterfeiting in 1999
Sodomy is reported to have printed $50B/yr at his height

this is a protective measure ahead of a massive devaluation
massive devaluation
with no protection, we might see interest rates rise dramatically from foreign TBond selling in the next year or two
imagine our recovery chances with rates rising to 6-7% suddenly
not from a position of econ strength
but rather from foreign abandonment

that is the stuff that deep recessions (or worse) are made
watch Argentina, which could offer us a preview of what might happen within the USA
I believe our banking system will be threatened
gold and the dollar are giving clear warning signals
most are being ignored by experts
I think they are preliminary earthquake signals forewarning of severe currency and banking problems, nay crises
