Kramer Is Klose, But Still Misses The Mark

An increasing strong dollar is what will crash the system. Ends foreign borrowing.

Hi Tabs, I apologize for my boorish comments earlier in the thread. You pretty much blew my argument with the comment below. My point was going to be there's no internal financial or economic limit to our debt...just the external one you and Skillet mentioned. I'm not sure it's such a bad thing as it'll force the US to act more responsibly as far as foreign expeditions and internal nonsense like the Green New Deal. The postwar boom was over a long time ago after all. Time to look after the US and stop being Big Poppa to the world.

If you notice the FED is over 9T...they are raising rates, are Tapering and want to reduce the Balance Sheet...They are raising rates in part to shore up USD viability and or credibility.. Looks like my thoughts were correct.

The BRIC's are discussing creating their own Reserve Currency out of a Basket of Currencies..does that tell you something? Couple that with the Saudi/Chinese deal about settling their oil trades in the RMB...and not the USD...that should scare the shyte out of you?


Being "frugal" is Jim Kramers terminology... maybe the better way to say it is that Americans are going to start to have to do without...

this may be true for responsible Americans,
but others are pumping out litters and getting
raises for each one
The government can afford lots of kids
and it takes a village
