You do nothing and let the exchange rates fluctuate.

They’re tipping the bucket, helping our enemies who are trying to destroy the US dollar.

It’s intentional. It’s part of their plan.

This is driven by China and those countries with oil.

As I understand it, and someone can correct me if I’m wrong, the problem is that all these countries hold vast reserves of U.S. treasuries.

They have to do this gradually in hopes that the dollar doesn’t come crashing down at least not until they’ve unloaded most of it. A crashing dollar would destroy the global economy, not just ours.

It’s a dangerous game for them to play, too. With a fragile U.S. economy, they are playing with fire and all of this can go up in flames if any party or individual investors start to panic.

If they succeed, our standard of living as we know it will cease to exist.

Sounds like time for more apologies. Some of our “friends” are trying to do us in again. Cutting oil loose form the dollar would cause much inflation here in the USA.

what are our leaders doing about this ???

Who the hell would that be?

If ever this country has been leaderless, it's right now.

Just print more money. There’s no end to the demand for paper money. Don’t stock up on commodities or anything.

Don’t buy gold, silver, or lead. Or food. Don’t do that. Paper dollars have intrinsic value because they’re backed by the good word of our good government.

Go ahead, print another trillion, Benny.

I read in January that there would be a deliberate effort to replace the dollar as the main globally currency. At the time I thought is was crazy. Now It is scary.

Dude, this is Robert Fisk.

I know, I know, structural deficits will kill investment in this country and jack up the prices of imports, including oil. Politicians will blame this on greed, and will raise taxes, increase spending, and impose tariffs, making our situation worse.

But dude, this is Robert Fisk!

In my opinion, parts of our own government are working hand-in-glove with our enemies.

We have allowed our enemies to infiltrate us and will pay the price. Take whatever steps are necessary to protect your family and loved ones--I have this bad feeling it's about to get ugly.
