US dollar crashin

The spending spree is coming home to roost.

However, there is a bright side to this.
One of the problems with having a strong currency is the fact everything we export costs more and it is always cheaper to produce things outside the U.S..

Now, the dollar is crashing. It will rapidly become cheaper to produce things in the U.S..
Our manufacturing will come back home and we will start producing things in this country.
Down side, the ruling party will not allow us to drill for oil or natural gas.
Oil and gas will become even more expensive in the U.S.. Anything we import will become more and more expensive, be it wood, metals, minerals, whatever.

Interest rates are about to start going up, by june of next year inflation will be in full swing. The dems aren't willing or able to pull cash out of the economy fast enough to stop inflation. The dems will want to leave all the money they can out there to try and prop up the economy to give them something to crow about for 2010.
 
I think the Dems don't worry too much about the National debt because they know all this spending will bring inflation. When inflation hits it will make our National debt appear smaller and much more manageable. What I'm trying to figure out is how much inflation do they think is acceptable and if they thought about the ramifications of hyper-inflation if it comes to that.

one good thing my house payments keep getting smaller, if i could only keep up with the cost of living
 
I wonder if it gets bad enough if mexico will allow us to invade their country looking for jobs so we can send home billions of dollars to our country.

we be better off to cut and run now & live there legally, than to wait for the mass exodus. :D
 
Couple of interesting things come into play. BO has devalued the currency to lower the debt. The buy American program is not needed as we Canadians are buying all the American things we could not afford for years. Trade protectionism is rampant in DC and the dollar is doing more then the buy American plan ever could.
3 friends have bought recreational property down there recently and what a bargain.
You will pay more for Canuck sleds now! Heck I might have to switch to riding poo's, they are practically free up here. 2K cheaper than last year. Doo's are up 2K.
The govt up here is freakin out over the export market, as we won't be able to sell anything.
So how's that stimulus going? Our govt has strongly avoided most bailouts and we are much stronger for it. Thank you for giving us a conservative govt with some sense of financial prudence.
Our GDP is up in the last quarter and we are somewhat pulling out of this mess, hope you fellers down there can get things back on track.
 
Just one of many articles stating the obvious, we are screwed in a catastrophic kind of way. China is on a trillion US dollar spending spree for every natural resources in the world. Once they've acquired what they consider "enough" they'll dump the rest of their dollars.

The Middle East is screwed too. They want oil priced in Yen and Euro's because they know the big dollar dump is coming. They need our consumption but we have nothing of real value to exchange. China will have their own oil reserves and Saudi Arabia will have no one to sell oil to when it hits US$200.

Heres a funny one.
Saudi Arabia is already asking for handouts.
They say if the world moves off oil they want concessions from the west to help their economy withstand the plunge.
 
Notice while all the news is health care, the price of oil is quietly sneaking up. 75.18 yesterday. I read again, the reserves off shore in the gulf of Mexico are bigger than Saudi but Bo would rather we aired up our tires.
