Gold has been rising in just about all major currencies which may signal a general, growing lack of faith in credit-as-money or fiat currency. But the U.S. is running over a $50 trillion budget deficit per the Government Acountability Office under David Walker our U.S. comptroller. It has become clear to all that the U.S. government's only way out is through massive dollar devaluation. That means massive losses for foreign investors holding U.S. securities and treasuries. So the idea that the U.S. is still the best investment game in town no longer holds true. China and Japan have already been net sellers of treasuries in recent months. If there is a dramatic crash in the stock market there may be a temporary rally in the dollar as investors panic into T-bills but it won't last.RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07307437595686083352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-77093347795338673372007-11-10T05:55:00.000+00:002007-11-10T05:55:00.000+00:00I believe in this, right off the $1 bill:NOVUS ORD...I believe in this, right off the $1 bill:<BR/><BR/>NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM<BR/><BR/>Translation: "Our new secular order".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-73327965847947198662007-11-10T05:18:00.000+00:002007-11-10T05:18:00.000+00:00did you people know that the only solution to ille...did you people know that the only solution to illegal immigration is the sinking dollar? think about it, if the dollar has the same or less value as the peso, illegals will stop coming. who wants our stinking dollars right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-82354958822776797352007-11-10T02:54:00.000+00:002007-11-10T02:54:00.000+00:00Who should I listen to:1.
