Being relatively poor, I’m there already. The corporate chumps are suffering from the filterdown effect. 😆
I know this is a little off-topic, but how does the Donald get that effect with his hair? This has been bothering me ever since I saw the first series of The Apprentice.
BTW, if the dollar continues its downward spiral, then you’re all f**ed!
America needs to bring our jobs back to the states and close the borders! Meaning preventing the illegals from crossing into our country and gaining illegal employment, however, this falls upon the employers who hire illegals as well…
After the former European Commission finalized plans for monetary union, launching the now mighty Euro, Washington DC think tanks adopted two plans:
1. publicly denounce and ridicule the single European currency scheme, all the while;
2. lay plans for the USA, Canada and Mexico to launch a similar single currency in the early years of the 21st century.
There were a couple of obstacles for this to happen. One, was the protracted Iraq war. Initially, the idea was, “easy in, easy out, depose Saddam and gain control of Iraqi oil,” and the second problem was the super-heated value of the USA dollar.
The reason the Federal Reserve has allowed the dollar to lose value against every other currency in the world, including the Euro, the Yuan and the Pound is, they are driving its value down in preparation for the launch of the single currency.
But unlike the Euro, which benefited from adding the enormous values of the former German Deutschmark and the French Franc, the USA will be joining hands with currencies with little punch on the global stage.
At best, what we can expect is to sail through the 21st century as a second-rate nation, with our tiny paw out, begging the likes of Communist China, Japan and the EU, to buy our Treasury bills to finance our debt and our wars.
I have a piece up today on my blog about the sad state of infant mortality in the USA. We’re just barely ahead of Latvia, but tied with Hungary, Malta, Poland and Slovakia.
This, my friend, is Bush’s Murika.

ROFLMAO GEF! 😆
GEF, I am currently reading Farley Grubb’s, Creating the U.S. Dollar Currency Union,1748-1811: A Quest for Monetary Stability or a Usurpation of State Sovereignty for Personal Gain?, and his article, Benjamin Franklin and the Birth of a Paper Money Economy.
There seems to me to be definite parallels between the way in which some delegates to the Convention on the Constitution wrested the power to issue paper money from the States and gave it to a privately corporated Central Bank in which, of course, the self-same delegates had shares which they had bought with money they had borrowed from the self-same bank, thereby creating a currency union, and the introduction of the Amero.
The introduction of the Amero would, of course, be unconstitutional, but you could say that it is a logical progression of what the framers of Article 1, section 10, clause 1 of the Constitution did.
Ah, yes. Our Constitution.
That quaint document that has proven to be such a nuisance to Bush and Cheney. How much they long to shred into a hundred pieces and relegate it to a footnote in history books.
Chris, I would think that the framers of Article 1, section 10, clause 1 of the Constitution (i.e., the 8 delegates from Pennsylvania and three others, including that snake in the grass, Alexander Hamilton), and their descendants, would be laughing all the way to the bank, by which I mean the Bank of North America, which morphed into the First Bank of the United States, which morped into…[to cut a long story short]…the Federal Reserve, especially since they had shares in the self-same Bank which they had bought with money which they had borrowed fromt that Bank.
Article 1, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.
I am no friend of GWB, who would shred all of the Constitution, except, perhaps, the above clause, to shreds, but there are sections of the Constitution, such as the above clause which, I think, are, for want of a better phrase, “quaint”.
