The Scandal of the Dollar
in response to reader comment: Republicans caused collapse of the dollar

Thing is, we, the people of America asked for it. Cheap goods from China (we can thank Clinton for Free Trade with them) and cheap housing (for those unfortunates that can't afford a piece of the American Dream) from Bush. Somewhere along the way, Americans forgot what America was. Now we gotta pay, and as is so typical, we want someone to blame.

If you got any $$$, better buy some gold.
