The dollar has been falling for over a year now and right now is on the brink of collapsing to 72. 8 points down from where it is now. It’s going to happen very soon and ALL imported goods will rise accordingly. It’s falling as I type and gold is rising and will continue to rise against a falling dollar.
Our economy as Paul Volcher stated is “the best economy money can buy”. The government and the Fed have been pumping money into this economy like there’s no tomorrow. They have to to keep it going forward otherwise we are looking at a recession/depression which nobody wants. The government has been lying their asses off to us about inflation being around 3% a year when in reality it’s about 10% right now. If you haven’t noticed rising costs you must be blind. And it’s going to get worse. Much worse.
The Euro is appreciating against the dollar because they have been raising interest rates which strengthen the Euro. The US does not have that option now as it would collapse the economy with all these sub-prime mortgages would default and go into foreclosure. Foreclosures are happening at an alarming rate and are going to get worse.
Obviously you don’t know economics or any history of fiat money and gold. History has stamped gold and fiat money like a sledgehammer for those that know it. You may think “it’s different now” but those are mighty empty words against the deluge of lessons history has to offer.
The Russian ruble, meanwhile, has been increasing in value against both the dollar and euro.
