This devalues the dollars in our pockets ( aka inflation ). Unless or Until the government quits trying to buy votes, our economy is in extreme peril. I don't see that happening. The government is now spending more than it is taking in (aka deficit spending). That means we borrow from other countries like China, then pay interest on it (with the devalued dollars that are printed). Look up hyper-inflation. That is where we are heading at an exponential rate. The people in power know this and DON'T CARE. Gas prices are high because the value of the US dollar is dropping not because Oil companies are greedy. That's my two bits which now isn't worth a plug nickel.<BR/><BR/>MUD - you've got the perfect survival transportation.

People do not realize where our money comes from in the U.S. or what an incredible shell game it all is. The house of cards will eventually come down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
