SPIEGEL.DE reports:
Banks, companies and investors are preparing themselves for a collapse of the euro. Cross-border bank lending is falling, asset managers are shunning Europe and money is flowing into German real estate and bonds. The euro remains stable against the dollar because America has debt problems too. But unlike the euro, the dollar's structure isn't in doubt.

remains stable dollar america debt problems euro dollars structure doubt

This is the natural consequence of big government policies.

The US dollar can expect the same.

There are many on this site believing martial law - banks, mint, Federal
reserve - the only alternative to a financial immigration of the euro-zone debacle.

Glen, are we writing to the same question? The issue is the euro collapse, not oil. Maybe you have jumped threads? I've done that before.

Like any other modern currency, the Euro will end.

Its end is inevitable. After all, every past currency in recorded human history has ended in its time.

And Obamunism is more determined than ever to push America off the fiscal cliff.

Not voting Nov 6th is a vote for Obama and America killing Obamunism.

Either Germany supports it and they basically devalue it which will make poorer the home folks considerably or they walk away and the PIGS fail.

The sad part about the collapsing EURO due to SOCIALIST FAILURE? The EURO is still worth more than the American dollar......If you dont find that the least bit alarming you have to be either a complete fool or a 0WEbama supporter.

reply
glen to marcuss... 2012/08/15 12:13:45

That's not a reasonable comparison as the States is one country and they are a union of many . If they separated only England and Germany would be worth more than the States . Have you checked the Canadian dollar lately ? Obama had better get the Keystone pipeline going or you're going to miss the boat .(going to China with Canadian oil on it )

Romney will take care of the pipeline being built on day one.

I don't think that we are "judging", many of us see a pattern in Europe that we also have in the US and believe that the Euro should be a warning to us about fiscal policies.

reply
Steveth... to Chris 2012/08/15 05:36:33

Yes Chris, Jefferson warned US about allowing the Jews into our banking system. What was a dollar, is now five cents. So much for our standard of living. So what is to be done?
Alas, we are dying beyond our means.

People that don't speak the same languages, have the same faith, eat the same food, work in similar professions, or have politically similar ideologies can't be expected to meld into a cohesive economic group. You can't tell me a Norwegian Lumberjack and a Greek Fisherman have enough in common to justify a Trillion Dollar + economic union that undermines each others' sovereignty.

Give me ONE example of where it has succeeded; Cuba? Russia? Greece? It always fails is why people all over the world want to come HERE to start a business, own a home. Legal immigrants are sworn in with tears in their eyes, many came here with NOTHING but ambition. Too many Americans take it for granted.

savages... to Tuna 2012/08/16 09:59:02

So your country won what? The right to be as egocentric as its individuals by the savage capitalism it encourages? Making poor people even poorer and richer people even richer? That's your idea of the american dream?

Tuna to savages... 2012/08/16 18:11:26

The USA has gone to the aid of FREEDOM all over the world time after time; you can hate us if you want, go for it. Too many others want to come here. Any nation gets into trouble, invasion, earthquake, terrorists; who is the first to respond with help??

An experiment into that Euro socialism; same thing that is happening in Canada. The push towards the United Nations ruling the world with their one world communist government, one world currency, one world economy free of the religion. The same kind of socialism that has FAILED everywhere it was tried.

Speaking for yourself, I presume. Minorities have only RISEN in a free market economy; not because government elevated them. Many of them now OWN that old job they used to go to everyday and like all Americans are feeling the pinch with this failed experiment in socialism.

Dependancy begets dependancy; that's how it began. People used to take care of each other, the church, the local establishments, etc. Then the government stepped in and took over. That is why the government is trying to do away with tax deductions for charity; they want charitable organizations to suffer fromlack of money so the government can have more on the dole; more dependancy.
