Yes Phaedrus, that is an absolute must.  This SOB made the statement early in his rule that it wouldn’t be so bad for the dollar to lose value in the New World Order’s Global Economy.   I suspect that as he was plying in his sandbox in the corner of the room that he was actually listening to Cheney, Wolfowitz and the other NeoCoNazis as they sat around the conference table and burnished their long-held plans following the youngster’s insertion into the Offal Orifice.

Impeach the Bu$hite leaders, starting with the Emperor, in the name of our Constitution and humanity.

Phaedrus, the SOB (Short On Brains) leadership we have today:  

• is intelligent – in an evildoer sort of way;
• has foresight – it knows exactly where it is leading us;
• is thoughtful – it has thought about power for decades.

The defacto currency devaluation is a purposful intelligent well thought out plan with great foresight.  Ya gotta giv’em that.

Let’s giv’em this as well:

Impeach the Bu$hite leaders, starting with the Emperor, in the name of our Constitution and humanity.

For all you consumers out there:

Slow Money Revolution: the global growth of local currencies.

The Slow Money Revolution by Cliona O Conaill. New Consumer magazine.

“Money is so inextricably woven into the fabric of our lives that it has become fundamental to our survival in the West. It affects almost everything we do, and yet we actually know very little about it. However, understanding of the nature of money will empower us as consumers. Money is not an actual thing. It is only an agreement between businesses, banks, governments, communities and nations to treat something as though it has value. It is “like a marriage, like a political party, like a business deal”, says Bernard Lietaer, author of nine books on money and finances and an economist for over 25 years who was involved in designing the Euro.”

Does this affect the Average American?  

This link sums up what I have been harping on here at VofA for the last three plus years in the postings referenced above, and others.  

But then it goes beyond that. 

This is a must read for anyone that seeks to understand the economic web as it has developed in the last couple of centuries – and some interesting counter-currents. 

Dear Mody Dear: you are, have been and shall forever be -- the most truthful, articulate and irresistable messenger the dismal science could wish for! 

For far too long the Nero'esque violins have been drowning out your clarion call - and with the influx of all these new fiddlers, they're overflowing the orchestra pit into the streets!

"Come dance with me!" she growled, "before all the instruments end up in the pawn shop!"

“Yes!  Yes”, he whispered as he took her in his arms and wrote “You are irresistible, especially when you wax eloquent.  You are permanently penciled into my dance card my dear.  Fiddlers, Let the music play, and stay away ‘til another day from the pawn shop, that we may dance on and on.”  

Junebug, I find the 'Dismal Science' very interesting.  From the comment count on economic/financial articles here at VofA over the years, I would say that it is not of much interest to the Average American.    

Although I would argue that it should be.  It is about humanity, and about each of us.  It is way way more than just the dry statistics that economists use to ply their trade.  If that were all there was to it, I would not be a subscriber to The Economist. 

I would urge anyone that has not seen the magazine to drill down on the link just to see that it is about much more than simply dry statistics (a common misconception.)  

If you have seen that weekly magazine, I am sure you will agree with me.  Economics is the study of politics, global happenings, global leaders and people, culture, issues such as global warming - the list goes on, a list of all those things that make up our zeitgeist, and that in reality do impact us concretely at the personal level more often than we may realize.  

Economics, as is shown by The Economist  is the wrapper of our lives.  It is about way more than money (simply a medium of exchange) or dry statistics (simply a tool to try to put form to the complex model of human interactions an needs). 

I find the real economy fascinating precisely because it is about me, you and humans around the world, and does impact me directly, both now and in the future.

Bushism is a good example.

It’s a quick draw contest with the Toxic Texan.  Who reaches for the flusher first!?! 

Flush this SOB before he flushes us!   

Thought it might be time for a little review considering what has happened in the financial world since this article was published last spring.

George says the new world order is indeed made of paper, and there will be a lot more of that flying around as these fools struggle with the mess of their making.

Women……………..I don’t know how many times they told me it’s not about the money as they took it from me…………….ha, ha

Reagan talked about the deficit stacking to the moon.....I wonder how far Georges pile will go
