That means people trust American economy. they create a demand for green dollars. However if you keep talking that pessimistic, The economic collapse you are afraid of will be invincible. People will lose their trust in American economy, and dollar indeed will be nothing but a piece of paper. But, then again, it is your country, you determine your policies, and you are free to go which way you wantergenekonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22571558.post-1141746614824220062006-03-07T07:50:00.000-08:002006-03-07T07:50:00.000-08:00ergenekon - You don't seem to get the point. Yes, this fiat system has made the US rich up to this point. However any "get rich quick" scheme is bound to end and the bottom is about to fall out on this one. Not only that, but the general public is playing into the con game of the Federal Reserve and the fiat money system. <BR/><BR/>You say that we should keep out money system the way it is. It seems to me that either you are completely fooled by the banking system or you do indeed realize the detrimental impact this system is about to have and you are in favor of America's downfall.WonderWomannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22571558.post-1141744290326837532006-03-07T07:11:00.000-08:002006-03-07T07:11:00.000-08:00ergenekon<BR/><BR/>This might seem like a great deal to be able to just create money out of thin air. The problem is that it is not viable long term. It is a house of cards that WILL very soon come crashing down. When that happens, people will suffer and life labors will be lost. That is not a sound ecnomic system. In fact it is like saying, "I don't have a money problem, there are still checks in my checkbook" when your account is overdrawn.Le Patriotehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09614958566768966169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22571558.post-1141737735880877002006-03-07T05:22:00.000-08:002006-03-07T05:22:00.000-08:00Both gold and silver have been the only real money that mankind has known for over five thousand years. Greenspan himself as far back as 1966 explaine in a lengthy paper as to why bankers hated gold and prefered fiat currencies.<BR/> If we are going to beat the bankers at their own game, the best way is to continue removing gold and silver bullion from the markets by purchasing the physical metal, thus making it harder for bankers to surpress the price of these commodities/real money, as both gold and silver are finite as opposed to fiat which can be printer with abandon by central banks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22571558.post-1141729792891518222006-03-07T03:09:00.000-08:002006-03-07T03:09:00.000-08:00the system you criticise made the U.S.A rich. After Bretton Woods Agreements dollar had a fixed value in terms of gold. Many countries sent their gold reserves to U.S. Some countries' gold is still in New York. Since dollar itself became something like gold, U.S had the opportunity of printing money without backing it with precious metals. She just promised that if any country or person brings paper dollars, she was going to pay him in golds. Of course nobody did that. and in 1971 the U.S. declared that she was no longer meet her obligation. But printing money created enormous wealth for Americans. and it still is creating wealth. For example to get a 100 dollars bill, a Korean has to produce something worthy of 100 dollars. But an American just pays his share of taxes that is used to buy ink and paper in order to create a 100 dollars bill.<BR/> This system is just perfect for the USA. you guys should keep this way. I hope you understand what I mean.

I also applaud you for soliciting ANSWERS and solutions which we as a people can actually implement to better our lives and our world.<BR/><BR/>I would like to further add to your list of suggestions and hopefully encourage others to do likewise. Perhaps together we can compile a list of strategies to help liberate ourselves from the imprisoning chains of big government. <BR/><BR/>1. Get out of debt as much as humanly possible and stay out.<BR/><BR/>2. Do not hold FRNs (dollars). Buy physical gold and store it off site (not in banks).<BR/><BR/>3. Cut your consumption and produce for yourself as much as you can. In other words, become more self-sufficient.<BR/><BR/>4. Buy and hold small denominations of silver coins - they can be more easily used for small purchases in the event of economic meltdown.<BR/><BR/>5. Learn to think for yourself - stop watching TV, or turn on the tube as least possible. It is a mind control device that you freely invite into your home.<BR/><BR/>6. Liberate yourself from depending on major media to provide anything other than hype.<BR/> <BR/>7. Research important issues using the Internet.<BR/> <BR/>8. Discover the facts about 911; become aware of what big government is really doing and tell others.<BR/> <BR/>9. Withdraw all funds from large, networked banks & start banking at small, community banks.<BR/> <BR/>10. Boycott corporations and products which wreak havoc upon our environment, hurt people, or which are deemed detrimental to our future.<BR/> <BR/>11. Refuse to invest with, or do business with companies that made political donations to the Bush campaign.<BR/> <BR/>12. Encourage our soldiers not to enlist or fight in illegal wars against innocent countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, and N. Korea.<BR/> <BR/>13. Buy a used car whenever possible - a vehicle with less operating costs.<BR/><BR/>14. Get yourself in better health - eat more healthy, exercise regularly, get adequate rest. With hard times ahead, you'll need all your abilities in their best working order.<BR/><BR/>15. Barter wherever possible - do business with small local establishments who you know and can trust - kick large corporate interests to the curb.<BR/><BR/><BR/>--- PLEASE ADD TO THIS LIST --<BR/><BR/><BR/># # #®notepadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22571558.post-1141701837360880152006-03-06T19:23:00.000-08:002006-03-06T19:23:00.000-08:00If you don't like the rules, don't play the game. <BR/><BR/>1.

Unfortunately, we do not own or control that oil and that is a very precarious position indeed. That is why we fight wars when Iraq (and now Iran) threaten to price and sell THEIR oil for Euros.
