The way I see it is that the politicians won’t grow a spine, they’ll print the $50 trillion needed to pay off the baby boomers, and inflation really will hit double digits (or worse).

The fan is on high and the excrement is in flight.

Then some heads are going to roll as Americans get really really angry.

Everybody is dependent on oil to some extent. So, when Saddam switched to Euros for Iraqi oil, that was a huge no-no, and he had to be dealt with. Iran… you’re next…

Judging by the dollar’s slump in the wake of the Chinese officials’ comments, investors are fretting that central banks in emerging economies will abandon the ailing greenback.

As a friend recently asked, do you think China would loan us money so we can send our enforcers to discourage them from diversifying? The irony of it all…
