The Dollar Sags in
Full View of the World This Invites a Run on the Dollar. Inflation Threatens
US.
Abstract:
We are swamped with debt and allowing our dollar to inflate with reckless
abandon just to allow Obama to bloat our government with leftist parasites. The
diluted US currency is now the concern of
many of our enemies and the search is on for a substitute reserve currency for
the world. Using the recent near collapse of the world banking system led by
debt and psychotic credit policies, we elect to double down that debt and simultaneously
advise our creditors that we can keep our dollar stable. This is an opportunity
for the G-20, a pack of sick economies save a very few, and they are not our
friends, and this 20 could become 33 or 133 given the fact that there are no
rules for membership in this stick cluster of losers. Their objective, in my
view, is for the UN to become the governing body of the G-20 with rotating
chairpersons and such and Obama supports this psychosis.
We are broke and getting broker:
We spend
trillions of dollars on ‘education’ and cannot implant the basest notions of
economics anywhere within driving distance of Washington, DC. There is some kind of cognitive
fungus that blots out any fear of inflation as our frolicking Fed prints more
money than the world can handle. I have posted numerous warnings on deflation,
outrageous spending,
gargantuan debt
along with hyperinflation
and the blatant and drug-induced bankruptcy of Micro-Marxian enclaves like California with little success. Apparently the lefties in control assume we
can tax
our way to prosperity.
Our
government will soon run out of buyers for their phony bonds and will grunt and
grab for the assets of the old white folks.
They will panic and turn Fascist in order to get the money to pay for their
follies.
Granny’s 401(k) will be confiscated and blended in with the Social Security
trash bin.
Apparently,
our government officials believe that their nefarious financial dealings are
covert and beyond inspection and analysis by others outside our borders. The
Chinese and English have been watching our folly for some time and now the push
to dump the dollar as the major reserve currency is gaining strength:
“PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (AFP) – The embattled US dollar is expected to come
under scrutiny at a summit of developing and industrialized nations following China-led calls to review its role as a reserve currency.”--Dollar under scrutiny at G20 summit by
P. Parameswaran – Thu Sep 24, 7:45 am ET . [Emphasis is mine in all quotes.]
“Beijing was the first to call for a new
global currency as an alternative to the US dollar as the US deficit rocketed --
the White House estimates it could reach nine trillion dollars over a decade.”— Dollar under
scrutiny at G20 summit
Our
government types must presume that the Chinese should believe in Little Timmy
Geithner and his nostrums about printing money in the US and how he can ‘unwind’ this gadget
before the spring breaks and the pieces fly away:
The Geithner Pledge:
"We have the deepest and most
liquid markets for risk-free assets in the world. We're committed to
bring our fiscal deficits down over time to a
sustainable level.
"We believe in a strong
dollar ... and we're going to make sure that we repair and reform the financial
system so that we sustain confidence," he said.”--
Geithner tells China its dollar assets are safe On Monday
June 1, 2009
There is
so much hokum in this blather that we must assume he is mad or more liberal
than we thought.
Another view from the Brits:
“A monetary policy of near zero rates – further juiced by quantitative easing
– is completely incompatible with circumstances in most of Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa. Divorce is inevitable. The US is expected to hold rates near
zero through 2010 to tackle its own crisis.
What is occurring is an epochal loss in the
relative wealth and economic power of the old G10 bloc of rich
countries compared to rising regions of the world. The euro, yen, sterling,
Swiss franc and other mature currencies will be relegated along with the dollar
in this great process of rebalancing, but the Greenback will bear the brunt.”—
HSBC bids farewell to dollar
supremacy The sun is setting on the US dollar as the ultra-loose monetary
policy of the US Federal Reserve forces China and the vibrant economies of the
emerging world to forge a new global currency order, according to a new report

The Chinese
and others who have recently managed their economies better that the Americans,
know that their trade surpluses will sink in inflation as the dollar falls. To
print money and spend wildly like the Obama administration is doing is insanity
and we now hang our reputations on what Tim Geithner mutters; this is the
ultimate in insults toward the world financial community.
They now
can guess the plan: we will use a weak dollar to get out exports running and
somehow make our economy spring back into shape. The disgusting part of this
scenario is that they cannot do much about this theft. What currency will they
replace the dollar with since the dollar constitutes about 65% of the world’s
reserves now? The Euro is a joke and the Yuen is too secretive and prone to
political interventions to be used. Can we come up with a weighted basket of
currencies and issue some international credits off the pile?
If the
Fed knows that our dollar will sink then they must be smoking the same weeds
that they do in Sacramento because those Froot Loops think
Obama is going to bail them out because they are ‘too big to fail.’ California will show the world how not to
run a society when the crash and bawl for pennies.
More US Dollars to be ‘spread
around’ the world:
The
general thrust, supported by President Obama, is to have the G20 act as some
kind of world clearing house for economic activities focused on banking.
There is some strange language about isolating certain countries that might
provide a ‘haven’ for those who might want to escape high taxes and economic
restraints. This is an attempt to trap capital and hold it in place for massive
taxation. There is no other way to pay for big government and Obama knows this.
There are several problems with
this G-20 notion:
[1]
The US is the biggest reserve currency
in the world and the dollar is being weakened by massive spending by our
government. This gives impetus and frenzy to China, Brazil and India to preserve their reserves
currently held in US dollars. Our economy is sinking and the dollar will
inflate soon causing major world-wide problems in finance and savings and
investments. We are broke.
[2]
The Third
World
has a desperate need of cash, inter alia,
and the UN wants to tax the world starting at about 1% of the GDP of each nation. They are the most
radical, racist and incompetent organization on the planet and cannot be
trusted with a dime. The Cap and Trade Tax would add costs to everything in the
US and would allow China and India to escape such a burden because
they refuse to adhere to this nonsense.
The UK is committing economic hara-kiri [seppuku] with their carbon
emissions follies led and abetted by their inbred and gibbering Princeling of Wails who
now embraces advanced
EcoNazism.
[3]
The proposed banking regulations and attempts by the G-20 to limit banker’s
bonuses and such are a smoke screen. What they want is to do is to prevent the US from being the world leader, but
the language is vague and veiled.
President Obama uses language that appears to want to isolate outer world financial
centers thus confining entrepreneurism to small units that can be strictly
regulate and taxed out of existence if necessary. Switzerland has set up Mayfair for such a haven.
Conclusion
The
G-7,8 were incompetents in past decades and now we are encouraged to allow the
G-20, possessing fewer skills and less wealth and even less potential, to
formulate the economic and financial rules for the planet. We must note that
there are NO REQUIREMENTS for membership in the G-20 which could expand to the
G-33 or more.
To think that we would want our finances controlled even in part by the likes of
Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, and Turkey is insanity.
The
nostrums displayed here by our government smack of the imbecilities of
President Wilson in 1919.
Here, we see the Hand of Obama mimicking Article 10 in spirit if not in fact
where the US would be forced to act under a
directive from some assembly of nations.That
is all we need: to take any advice form the idiots in third world or even the
Brits.

“PITTSBURGH -- The
Group of 20 nations is close to an agreement that would require members to
subject their economic policies to a type of "peer review," according
to several senior G-20 officials, in a shift that would expose the U.S. and China to broad scrutiny of the way they run their economies.
Also, the G-20 heads of state will
announce on Friday that the G-20 will become the permanent council for international
economic cooperation, eclipsing the Group of Eight, a senior U.S. administration official said.
