An inflationary depression is 100x worse than a deflationary one

+1! Global Warming is a fucking hoax. The IPCC is a fucking joke made up of government scientists. Sure the media and government has accepted CO2 global warming theory but the scientific community can <b>easily</b> refute this theory. No, Al Gore, the debate is not over. I will do my part not...

The US consumer will continue to get replaced as long as their currency depreciates. When China, for instance, lets their currency appreciate at against the dollar, Chinese products will cost more for Americans and less for Chinese, and Americans will slowly be replaced as the dollar...

Where else they gonna sell it?... How about the rest of the world. While the US dollar continues to depreciate other consumers in the rest of the world have been and are staring to pick up our slack. Asian countries are becoming wealthier and might actually start consuming their own goods in the...

Of course if something is cheaper to import than produce it should be imported, which is what we currently do. However, what happens when the USA's main export (US dollars) continues to depreciate and hit all time lows against a basked of curriences and commodities? All superpower nations...

What more can I say? Those are the most common ways US dollars are added to the "system". Printing money is an adage that's often used to describe the expansion of the money supply. The money isn't really printed though, it's keyed up digitally into whatever bank borrows it from the Fed at...

Many different ways but let me take a shot at the most recently used: - Foreign Central banks buy US Treasuries for a paltry return... thus injecting dollars into our system - Fed lends money to commercial banks (and now investment banks) through it's discount window at an interest rate...

Oh, wow! head of goldman research!! that means he really knows what he's talking about!!! I also recall Goldman recommending to short gold when it was 800 at the end of '07, wonder how that bet turned out for people.

Production and innovation is the backbone of any healthy economy, not consumerism. The reason we are able to maintain a 70% consumer economy is because the rest of the world is still accepting US dollars in return for their goods. Great things are in our future only if our currency holds up, and...
