Your comments are very interesting, in light of the fact that all the financial news sources are expecting a GLOBAL DEPRESSION, in which the US currency is expected to be devalued by as much as 50% or more.

Review of the chart which shows the BUDGET DEFICIT also shows that the biggest jumps in that deficit occurred during BU$H Sr, Ray-Gun, and BU$H Jr.

In fact, BU$H Jr. has outpaced BOTH his daddy, Ronnie Ray- Gun, AND Bill "Rockefeller" Clinton.

What do we have to thank for the willful destruction of the US economy?

NAFTA, GATT, the WORLD BANK, Globalization, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, and others just like them, such as McDonald's.

Also responsible is the fact that the US currency is backed by NOTHING --- and is getting the SHIT kicked out of it by the EURO --- which is currently the strongest currency on the planet at the moment.

Now . . .

Go to your bank and ask them if they will trade in your WORTHLESS FEDERAL RESERVE NOTES for EUROS and see them laugh at you as they kick you to the curb.

This was also why last year I suggested to everyone here that they should buy GOLD.
