Dump 'em in my wallet.

[Pro-Bush]

Only a DUmmy would dump the dollar. The rule is to BUY low and SELL high. Buy dollars and support America! Selling now would be a loss for the investor holding US paper notes. I say look long term and hold on to the dollar and wait for the Euro to fall before thinking of selling out the dollar.

Ping!

Why shouldn't the value of the dollar drop? We're buying too many imports, we're selling too few exports. The debt is huge. So, yeah, the dollar is worth less today than it was yesterday, and tomorrow it will be worth less.

Yeah, you can make money playing the currency markets, or even better yet, consider what you're purchasing this holiday season. Buy from small businesses who generally can't afford to bring in huge imports, buy American where you can, and you never know, that dollar might actually start to go up...

Or maybe it'll just keep dropping like a rock, because no one will care about the future economic health of the country as a whole on a personal level, and they'll call on the government to do their job.

That advice MIGHT make a small modicum of sense IF you are a currency trader or do alot of international travel/business.

A weak dollar is only critical when you MUST buy imported items. There is nothing we NEED which MUST be bought overseas.

OK, I hear the snide out there saying "Oh yeah? What about OIL, smart@ss!"

We have plenty of untapped oil here in the USA. The reason we buy it overseas is that it is cheaper to buy it there and ship it here than it is to pump it up from our own soil. That is due to union and environmental blackmailers that jack up the costs.

When the dollar falls far enough, it will be once again cheaper to drill/pump it here, with a corresponding rise in employment and the general economy.

It all started when they changed our currency..

And if THAT wasn't enough, now they are changing it yet again. Only this time, it is starting to look more Canadian..

One thing. The new $20.00 is GREEN. Remember Monopoly Money? The $20s were green, too.

But because the Treasury didn't pay attention, the new $50.00 bills aren't blue.

THEY SHOULD BE BLUE. But they're not....

And now, the dollar is weak. Why? They made the $50.00 PINK.

PINK

Um, the $5.00 bills in Monopoly were pink.

THIS EXPLAINS IT ALL.

Sooner or later, all your bills will be worth 1/10 of their alleged value..

We have been exporting our inflation for the past 8 years and foreigners are getting tired of buying it.

Get ready for hyperinflation especially after the Fed starts monetizing our debt to prevent a collapse which will only accelerate the process.

We are going the way of Argentina.

The good news is that real estate will get real cheap and the smart money will have the capital to take advantage but will be excoriated in the MSM.

BUMP
