Amen brother

I think what may help is keeping in mind that the dollar and treasury bonds are nothing more than notes that represent the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. And the bottom line is that credit spreads in secondary markets for sovereign bonds around the world demonstrate that the...

Look, you're the one that cast the first stone. There is no need to look down your nose at the arguments of people that lived in fewer continents than you. If you've seen it with your own eyes then you know its not a joke. there is a reason for relative credit spreads, instability premia in the...

Thanks for the history lesson. Ummm is this a serious question? Does safe mean it doesn't go down? Do you know what a credit spread is? Can I show you a 5 year period where the dollar surged against other currencies and have made a point of equal validity to your point?

While I am patriotic, and also am sick of taxes and moronic statements from media seeking politicians that will say anything to get air time (even though they know windfall profit taxes, socialized systems and the like break all of the laws of successful economic history) I am still intrigued by...
