Hyperinflation.
Folks, what the Bush Cabal is doing cannot be done without eventually sparking a hyper-inflation such as Germany saw in the 1920s or Argentina saw in the 1980s.

You cannot just print a hundred billion dollars to piss away on a war without consequences! And yes, when you borrow that sort of money, you actually create the money by creating a massive debt that you cannot pay on a ledger book, and the money 'miraculously' appears in the other column of the book. This is in NO way less inflationary than actually starting the presses and printing cash.

I think you all ought to seriously consider whether any assets you still posses are safe in US Dollars, and diversify accordingly.

"any assets you still possess"

2. so the outsourcing is also going into hyperdrive.. NO JOBS AT ALL
that is a good equation for disaster..

so when it spreads to Mexico you can count on another 100 or 200 MILLION migrants come'n North.. plus the bad weather and possible famine there

3. Look for the Bushes to lay on massive personal debt...
because they will Know when the hyper-inflation will hit, and inflation is a great way of cheating on your own debts.
