US Dollar Collapsing Today!

we have probably 2 years of meat on the hoof,,an i know how to build a fire..

 

haha nice, I was just saying in general, not just you. I know people are planning for the food, but some may be stocking up on stuff that requires lots of electricity or gas, which they aren't taking into consideration as much. all those bills will raise too.

Sooo, any good recipes for cold food??? Cold black beans and???

I would miss fruit if it becomes to expensive damn it all.

 

Consider this: In 2000, when Bush took office, gold was $273 per ounce, oil was $22 per barrel and the euro was worth $.87 per dollar. Currently, gold is over $700 per ounce, oil is $83 per barrel, and the euro is over $1.40 per dollar.

but that's okay cause:

"Inflation is down, markets are steady, unemployment is relatively low, exports are up and corporate profits seem to be healthy, Bush told reporters."

Yes.

 

Last night on CNN, I saw a blip before commercial about a bank in London that showed a long line of customers waiting to get their money out as the bank was failing. I'm sick, so I went to bed. I can't find anything on google about it. Anyone have more information? Could this be an isolated incident, or is it all connected?

 

it was the northern rock bank, there are branches all over the uk and there was a bank run in the uk for the first time in over a century. the reason for this is due to the collapse of the mortgage market in the US, as the number of people are defaulting on there mortgages the banks around the world aren't speaking to one another, banks sell off loans and mortgages between each other on a daily basis but since the shit hit the fan in the US which sold most of these high risk accounts all over the place no one really knows who is going to be getting screwed in the very near future so banks arent traiding with each other. so in order to cover the costs of the defaulting mortgages northern rock (the bank you saw with everyone trying to get there money out) applied to the bank of england for an emergency loan. this made people panic that all there savings were going to be lost and the last i heard its somewhere in the range of 9 billion removed from the bank in the uk in the last week. so yeah all connected

 

no im not blaiming the us for this im blaiming current banking restrictions, or lack of

 

The dollar is collapsing because they orchestrated it. It's obvious, the Fed cut interest by 1/2% on purpose, not so they could help people, but so the market would flood, inflation is going to be uncontrollable, and your going to see world markets dump the dollar as a reserve currency and switch to the euro..........eventually this will be used as an excuse to usher in the SPP, and you will se the North American Union and the Amero become a reality.........Alan Greenspan and Hank Paulson are both out there talking about the dollars imminent collapse, and financial turmoil...........people in their positions know that whatever they say affects the world markets.........what your seeing is the systematic destruction of the economy and sovereignty of the United States of America.

the uk mortgage market is not great, far from it and yes in the comming months to years this is going to have a huge effect on the banks but for the moment it was the troubles in the us that put the pinch on northern rock. dont get me wrong im not tryin to pass the buck it just happend that way

 

i heard on npr that the u k's credit woes make the united states look mild in comparison..not just mortgages,but overall.

something like there 161% an we are 116% over extended..

that actually surprised me,i mean just judging from what i see on the net,i never would have thought they were the type of culture to let debt overwhelm them..
