palin and bernanke and obama and bush

Ugh.

There are others you don't mention.

My deep, dark and very much in the know GOP connections suggest that Gingrich will run against O!, who is looking very much like a one term Jimmy Carter clone.

You may not like him but there is no denying his intellect.

The US doesn't need Thomas Jefferson, it needs an Eisenhower or George H W Bush. Someone to push the budgets towards balance, manage foreign affairs, do a few key initiatives (like the interstate highway system, allowing commercialization of the internet) and ALLOW things to work out and markets to clear.

I would not look for a straight forward defult on the USD, a roughly 25-40% decline over the next 5-7 years will work things out.

Who wins and who loses if the US Dollar drops to zero ?

Losers -

Japan
Canada
China
UK
South Korea
Mexico
and many others

Winners -

Russia
Iran
Norway

That is a list of friends and not friends, except for Norway.
