Bignugget 0 #51 September 14, 2013 Skyrad******. the USA is on a downward spiral and its only a matter of time before the dollar crashes. What are you basing that fiction on? The increasing number of jobs, better than expected economic growth and increased international trade? I'm not saying the US is great by any standards, but your statement is just ridiculous. You should write for The Sun with that level of fantasy and hyperbole. Russia, China, Iran and Syria & India are no longer trading oil in the US dollar and its just a matter of time before other countries follow their lead. Without the Petrodollar the USA is screwed. http://www.usdebtclock.org US national debt has been growing at $1.94 billion per day since September 30, 2012. Its a debt that can never be paid back and its only a matter of time before those that lend the USA money decide to raise the interest rates then hyperinflation and dollar crash hello. Are you this worried about the UK? http://www.usdebtclock.org/world-debt-clock.html You guys are a lot more leveraged up than we are.... The USA is the USA's largest debt holder. I don't think we are gonna 'raise the rates' at which we will lend to ourselves any time soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
