Title: The USA shutdown and the value of its currency.
Post by: FitnessFrenzy on October 02, 2013, 01:09:04 AM
I am by no means very well informed about economics, but I am thinking in relation to the US shutdown:

- fewer tourists want to go to the US

- people are afraid to buy from USA (postal service shut down)

So, I guess the dollar currency will lose some of its value while this shutdown is ongoing?

Postal service isn't shut down (although it should be).

Since when does Wiggs have a pension? Pensions in the US are for people who give a life time of work. Phony disability in the US is for people who have played the system to get a check for life that is exploding in the US. Everyone can't work because of some ailment and they want their retirement social security now while they are young. They have one hearing before a judge and if your lawyer has his doctor show up or documentation you are on the road to getting a check for life with free health care. From there you can get food stamps and housing assistance. You can also get a free cell phone. No wonder this country is broke. No wonder the world is coming here in droves to become a citizen to vote for the Democratic party.

why?

Post by: phreak on October 02, 2013, 04:57:25 AM

All fiat currencies are valued at perceived worth. The US has the military clout to keep the dollar as the reserve currency (e.g. terrorizing the ME into keeping dollars the sole oil bourse currecny), which in turn keeps it artificially 'desirable'.

Yep.  It's like quietly adjusting your pistol before sitting down to have a discussion/argument with unarmed people.

You don't have to say anything, you don't have to bully them or make threats, but in the end they pretty much know you ain't getting screwed at that table.

It ain't right, but it is what it is.  The entire animal kingdom is like that... the mightier animal usually kills the weaker.  Humans invented this morality bit, right?

what backs a currency are gold and silver stocks. China has been stacking on physical for a while preparing for the end of the dollar. All major banks are trying to rapatriate their gold, and all specialists know there s probably not much of it anymore in the US but in the pockets of the 1%. If you cant connect the dots...
Also as a french specialist said recently, "we dont know when it s going to collapse, but one thing is sure events are accelerating at the moment. Politicians and banks have done everything they could and it still didnt work".
