We absolutely have to stop the $$$ downfall. We have about 5 more years left before the shit hits the fan.

7 small steps to a Major US Crisis!
Creating a full-blown US crisis.

* Step 1. Nobody notices or pays attention that the dollar is falling fast.
* Step 2. Folks wake up, but they either don't care or rationalize dollar weakness. Or they just don't know how bad this is.
* Step 3. The central banks now know they have a problem, but the bankers think the market will obey them. It will, for a while. (This is the step we have now reached and what emerged at the G7 meeting.) Its the top of the 4th inning people.
* Step 4. The dollar now tests everyone's resolve by resuming its decline. The currency markets will not respond to jawboning by finance ministers.
* Step 5. In this step, the finance ministers are forced to take action. (Think about it. Even if they'd stated that they wanted the dollar to go up, nothing either explicit or implied indicates they'll do anything about what's happening. That will come next.) When they do take action, the market will do what they want -- but only for a while.
* Step 6. The ministers take some additional action, but it won't be enough, and the currency markets won't do what the ministers want. Gas 9 dollars a gallon.
* Step 7. Finally, we'll have a full-blown crisis, and that will be the end of the game. Another great depression is here. YOU THINK I'M JOKING OR DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. WAIT AND SEE.
The Dollar is falling because the US Government just refuses to stop printing money 24 hrs a day. Spend spend spend, The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $1.65 billion per day since September 29, 2006! We need change!
This is why BUSH is the worst president since Carter.

We all know "we the people" will not come back full circle..we are a simple minority now.What can we do to protect ourselves in these dark times ? How do we save for our future..where do we invest ?
