Mammaw Posted September 28 Author Report Share Posted September 28 I invested all my retirement and savings into family ventures. Broke. Living on Social security, if that's what you want to call living. Iraq has tons of gold and oil in reserves. US dollar .. well.. we all know that story. IQD, my hope is to live long enough to "live". 4 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post md11fr8dawg Posted September 28 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 28 I am not so sure you should bury the USD just yet. Russia is at war, China's economy is in the crapper, Brazil is nothing to emulate with their economy. The point is they may want to get rid of the USD, but, as my Dad use to say "shiite in one hand and want in the other and see which fills up first"! The USD may be losing some of its dominance but it sure isn't dead. 1 3 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fimum Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 Totally agree with Fr8dawg. Russia; an oligarchy. China; communist. Brazil would be emulating the USA were Bolsonaro still in office, but with Lula they are leaning towards a totalitarian state. In short, not much of an economic threat from the that three of Brics. India, in my opinion, is the free market powerhouse that COULD rival the West. That all being said, even if the wannabe marxists here at home get elected and our house and senate continue on the spending like there is no end to the dollar supply - and the dollar loses value, I think the Iraq CB would allow the dinar to unpeg from the inflated mess here and we would see the dinar rise as a result. 1 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theseus Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 (edited) See I can find articles against the fear mongering like the OP posted. Here is one Example (can find dozens and dozens more)of a quick search in the other direction dated June 2024: Don’t Bet Against the Dollar U.S. competitors are pushing the limits of autonomy within a dollar-based system, but there isn’t a real global alternative—and the world is far from an inflection point. June 10, 2024, 9:00 AM Just like we are wary against pumpers and so-called gurus of the IQD we must be as vigilante when it comes to the USD. They have been saying the USD will go by the wayside fory a very long. This played out in the 1970's when the Earth was "cooling" and gas lines were two miles long in some places and the US had higher inflation than today. So as to quote the Manchurian candidate in charge... Just like the Climate hoax... Its all malarky! Its all fear mongering. If one isn't enough, here is one from Al Jazeera a ME news agency: Can BRICS dethrone the US dollar? It’ll be an uphill climb, experts say The world’s reserve currency is facing a challenge from Global South countries who want options beyond the greenback.

I agree US has huge amounts of gold, etc. However, will the politicians in charge allow for the USD to reinstate the gold backing. Unfortunately, I think not. In my opinion. Time will tell. 1 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fimum Posted Tuesday at 11:11 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 11:11 PM We haven't heard much in these last seven and a half years, but there WAS fairly encouraging talk in the second Obama term by State Attorneys General of convening a Convention of States to introduce legislation (including constitutional amendments) that simply will not be brought to a vote by Congress. Term limits, balanced budget, etc. Things that would limit powers of the House and Senate, and even the executive branch. The swamp will not drain itself. Have faith, even if it looks bleakest. 2 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish for a one time RV only whether it is going to be a low or high rate, I will get out and never look back. Noone can predict and knows when the war is going to end peacefully in the middle east. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get exactly where your coming from ole son. My own humor and sarcasm helps alleviate the pain, discomfort, disappointment, stupidity...I could probably add many more adjectives. At times it feels like sandpaper being vigorously rubbed over an open wound. Ah well, enough jocularity: back to business.
