Why The Dollar Will Collapse!
80The U.S. government is living way beyond its' means:
- The government spends $1-1.5 billion more than what it takes in per day.
- The U.S. debt grew 9.5% last year surpassing $9 trillion at the end of 2007, about $30,000 for every american, and the figure keeps increasing exponentially.
- U.S. government liabilities have surpassed $50 trillion.
After the sub-prime mortgage crisis, which hit not just the US but the whole world, the Federal Reserve was forced to cut interest rates several times depriciating the dollar by about 25%.
Both the war in Iraq and immigration issues continue to further increase the US debt:
- Cost of war in Iraq amounts to $3 trillion since the start in 2003 and keeps burning $12 billion a month.
- Immigration problems cost an estimated $300 billion per year.
With the tensions now going on between the US and Iran due to the nuclear issue, a war scenario with the muslim country is now much more realistic and likely than it used to be a year ago and with people such as Bush and Dick Cheney in power it wouldn't surprise me if this scenario did occur. Even Obama and Hillary Clinton have mentioned the issue of Iran during their campaigns with the latter even willing to obliterate the country if they were to attack Israel, not to mention the US.
If this were really going to occur, the US economy would go bankrupt in a matter of a few months if not weeks in its' current conditions.
With the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates really low while printing billions and billions of dollars in order to provide more liquidity to the banks, it is very likely that in no more than September this year (2008) we will witness a hyper-inflationary collapse of the Dollar. This has been mentioned and discussed by many relevant figures in the economic world and is a plausible theory considering the current trend in the market and economy.
Ron Paul Discusses Coming Dollar Collapse
[Update - 17/06/08]
Chinese Threat - Dumping US Treasury Bonds
Here are some figures on Chinas Foreign Reserves:
- China holds $1.7 trillion in foreign reserves (April 2008)
- Reserves are accumulating with more than $20 billion per month
- China holds about $450 in US Treasury Bonds (rough estimate)
By just looking at these figures it is easy to deduce that the Chinese government have an enormous leverage over the US economy , showing the vulnerability of the American country. This also shows the horrible leadership of this Administration which not only is causing the US economy to collapse but has been also downplaying the whlole matter, stating that the risk of China selling US assets is absurd.
China Threats To Dump US Treasury Bonds
After the sub-prime mortgage crisis, the Chinese Government hinted that it may sell its' vast holdings in US Tresury Bonds, which could potentially trigger the collapse of the dollar, if Washington were to impose sanctions to force an evaluation of the chinese currency, the yuan. Officials from China said that they would be using their large foreign reserve as a political weapon to counter pressure from the US Government. Some went as far as to call this "weapon" Chinas "Nuclear Option".
The dumping of such Treasuries would result devastating to the US economy, slamming the dollar and driving up interest rates. It basically means that the dollar will collapse. Of course China is also co-dependent with the US as it needs America as a market to sell its' vast amounts of goods which it produces. Thus this "nuclear option" seems unlikely at the moment although a further depreciation of the dollar would force China to sell at least part of its' US Treasury Bonds, if not all of it, resulting in the dollar to collapse.
Will The Dollar Collapse?
At this point it seems pretty certain that the US is facing an inflationary depression. The worst thing is that this is actually being done on purpose, by design so to speak. The Federal Reserve seems to prefer saving the banking cartel rather than helping the american citizens.
It is likely that we will witness a domino collapse in the U.S. financial system in the next few months and I tell you, things are going to get really ugly. The best way to defend against the coming crisis is to buy gold and silver as these are the only solid, consistent currencies that never devaluate, along with oil and drugs, but this is a different matter.
Please do comment, I'm eager to read your answers and views on this really important and delicate topic, which is going to affect the whole world.

This is a very important issue you have pointed out. Who knows what the dollar collapse will lead to? The sad thing is people are living as if nothing is gonna happen.
Excellent article.
A dollar collapse means much higher oil prices and a possible return to the gold standard
Yes it seems if its Bear Stearns, a bail out is no problem, if it's 3 million ordinary people (the number of homes in foreclosure right now and headed toward 5 million shortly) then it's a 'moral hazard' and these people must be taught the hard way to manage their money better. Insane and corrupt, it's sickening. At this point the 'moral hazard' argument is way past useful. Cities are already out of money for basic services because they are losing their tax base.
I don't think the dollar will collapse any time soon but it could, as the main reason China doesn't call in their excessive loans to us is that we are their major market. We need a plan though, since soon they will be their major market. US auto manufacturers already prefer to sell THEM cars. So they no longer need us to buy their lead toys, then...uh oh.
I will always defer to the "experts" and thank you for your insights. I own a failing Internet business. It began it's decline in early May. People are beginning to pull back so much of their discretionary spending; that's the main cause of the failure. We have purchased silver in anticipation of the fall. If you can please respond to this question: If I maintain a certain amount of cash will it become absolutely worthless in time? and if so, will silver be used for barter? Again thank you, and your reply would be appreciated.
^Well it really depends on the amount of cash you are saving; if I were you I wouldn't rely much on the dollar. Gold and Silver are the only true currencies which don't devalue in time, you can always barter them with any world currency at any time. You should have a look at this website for a better insight on the solid currencies and the coming collapse of the dollar.http://www.small-business-goldmine.com/small-busin
Use the dollar for every day life but don't save any of it for the long run because by the end of 2010 it will be worthless and the Amero will be put in place.
Now you know this is very informative. It really baffles me as to how quickly we took a turn for these economical problems. At this point in time things are just going to get harder and harder from here on out
I'd like to know what you think is the reason the dollar is going up now. With all this turmoil and the reserve expending all this money you would think it would go down.
Is it because the crisis is worldwide and relatively speaking the dollar seems like the safest place to be? Or is it perhaps certain obligations relating to the crisis had to be paid in dollars. Will the bubble burst and the dollar suddenly plung anytime soon?
Thanks
will this 900b$ stimulus plan will help in the dollar collapse.and when this eu and uk and others will come out of the resession.
How will this amero affect the dollar and the U.S. economy?
Hi,
You have rightly depicted the situation. US economy will collapse.

Why The Dollar Will Collapse
This is a good idea
No one can predict the exact time when this will happen.But certainly in the next few years. If China is able to find new markets elsewhere ( Particularly other asian countries) then a dollar sell off by China is imminent. But probably will be done gradually over many years. US has to revive itself. Increase domestic production , increase the exports rather than just relying on imports and simply eating out more than what they earn.
This system is so plauged with fraud that I for one am actually looking forward to the coming collapse. Though the collapse will be extremely chaotic and painful, real Capitalism will finally have a fighting chance. This crony capitalism must end immediately.
LOL! Now I know why my U.S. paper currency actually LOOKS like Monopoly money! (Hmmm. I wonder where I can get lots of Monopoly money, cheap?)
Hi Estess,
Thanks for nice information, i am strongly agree what you are writing. Future currency will be Gold and Silver only and US Dollar will colapes soon.
We must buy Gold and Silver for future needs. US Army expenditure are main reason for Dollar colapes. Also i beleive that jews are controling American banking system are American public is Victim !!!
Pity for Americans
Very insightful
monopoly money looks like US money because monopoly was a game made in the US. idiot rofl.
I do not agree over the US Dollar collapse. At least I do not agree over its quick collapse.
The following facts are very true:
US milutary engagement overseas costs the USA a fartune a day.
China holds a large amount in US treasury bonds.
Internal debt is way too high at this time.
However, the following facts are also very true:
US Dollar weakened vs. Euro and other currencies, but the prices in the US market went down as well, which triggered foreign buyers to spend their money in the US market, which returned the dollar value "back home". If that would not have been the case, devaluation rate would be higher.
Health care bill that was just addopted by the US is not only a measure to help out ordinary citizens, but also a way in which the government is going to put more control into that sector, as well as many others. Does anyone think that for instance, the government is not going to take control over the energy sources such as power generated by hydro and termo power plants, or eventually make significant profit over capacity development in sollar energy production or similar.
Just think how much the US dollar depends over oil. By cutting or minimizing such dependence, US currency will have more stability for sure, but that could possibly roll out the dollar from world markets and stop it being a world's currency, which most probably will be taken over by the Euro.
Just look at the collapse of USSR. What has actually made such giant to collapse? Economical crisis. It collapsed from within, not from outside, meaning it was an implosion. I think the US Government learned that lesson very well and will not take the same bite for sure. On the other hand, the USA is still not populated as Europe for instance. Change in immigration policies will legalize stay of millions of illegal immigrants and possibly convert the same into, if not the US citizens, then at least the tax payers. Further change of immigration policies, for instance toward attracting and allowing more people to win the green lottery then the US Govt. does now might have the same effect as the aforementioned legailzation of illegal immigrnats stay.
On the top of it, many would like to see the USA down on its knees, but such case scenario requires something to happen, and for sure bigger then local wars in iraq or Afganisthan. Collapse of US market is in nobody's interest, except perhpas those isolated nations such as Iran or N. Korea, but their wishes do not represent any relevant facts.
Furthermore, in case of Iran, I do not think of it as a nuclear threat only, and rather opt to think that something else is there, perhpas China's holdings in Iran's treasury bonds or other China's interests in Iran. Otherwise, I do not see any reason for such a big Iran's arogancy vs. the rest of the world.
To return to the topic, for as long as the USA has got clear policies and does not weaken in terms of military power and influence, the US Dollar will remain efficient and unaffected.
the sad fact is the economy is going to collapse.
to much damage has already been done to stop it.
u.s.manufacturing was basically destroyed back when bill Clinton signed in the china free trade bill that allows overseas manufactures to flood the u.s.with cheap imports.
now with 18 million jobs gone the u.s.dolar value is dropping fast.
down to 72.2 cents.
this will cause inflation meaning every thing we buy will cost more.
18 million people whose unemployment will run out by mid 2011
this will drive all 18 million to state aid.
states will go broke paying the massive fees in state aid.
the fed may bail each state out again as it did in 09 but that is doubtful
states go deep in the red thus another wave of state and government layoffs is coming.
when the dollar is devalued past 20 cents the economy will collapse.
predicted to take place on a Sunday night.
the following Monday banks will be closed.
checks wont be cashed,credit cards will be frozen,you will be basically up the creak.
this is expected to happen by mid 2011.
and teh sad part is it doent matter is we replace the presedent now because the damage is already done.
The dollar is very weak and volatile at the moment. But a total collapse of the dollar is not going to happen. This is a scare tactic that was drummed up after the drastic decline in the economy happened and the housing bubble as well as the failure and mismanagement of AIG, Bayer Stearns, GM & Chrysler and other major companies all needed help to include Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The scare tactic was broadened and emphasized by companies who buy gold and can afford to advertise on every radio station, tv station and on every other billboard, newspaper, magazine and online. The facts are clear! Every super-power on earth trades in U.S. dollars. Oil is traded and valued in U.S. dollars. And the United States is one of China and Japan's primary markets. Who the hell else would they sell to? We may very well be in debt, but the collapse of the dollar based upon a total economic downturn isn't imminent. People are using scare tactics to motivate innocent people to sell their gold cheap (gold buyers you see on TV) and the same people who tell you to dump your faith in U.S. dollars and turn towards gold and silver. The reason this is a stupid move for anyone is that "IF" the dollar did in fact collapse, who the hell are you going to sell your gold to? What would it be worth? With the dollar alive it is worth around $1400.00 per ounce. But it wouldn't be worth squat without a currency to buy it with if the dollar did in fact collapse. Why? Because the U.S. government would rush in and put a value (drastically devalued) on privately held gold if the dollar failed. Now your precious gold isn't worth its weight anymore! And the only thing you can do with your high priced bling when there is NO currency to buy and sell it with would be to trade it for food and services. So you'd go broke over night. So stop listening to all of these idiots who keep telling you that we are all going to be in line at a damn soup kitchen next week. It isn't going to happen. I am not saying that we aren't in a financial mess, but I am saying that there is a lot of noise out there on the radio, tv and online that is in fact "just noise".

eFoods Global is a new network marketing opportunity (2010) that’s become available to public very recently. At present they are promoting a home business model whereby the enrollee (or independent business operator) can simply join the program, consume the product on a monthly basis, and earn points on a point value (PV) system that will pay commissions to that IBO for their order and every order placed by people they introduce to the company.
This, of course, is the typical multilevel marketing model – nothing new here. As far as MLM companies go, when a new (or sometimes established) company decides to offer a multilevel marketing model to the public, and provide the opportunity of being an independent distributor, most of them will typically adopt some sort of ‘startup’ or ‘pre-launch’ phase. This is to focus on gaining distributors, generating buzz, and building momentum before actually shipping any product or providing any service.
During the pre-launch phase there can oftentimes be loads of hype about the company, about where it’s going, and about how “global domination” is logically inevitable, and how the latest and greatest whiz-bang product – that they have the exclusive, patented rights to produce – will alter the axis of the network marketing world as we know it.
But the simple fact of the matter is, people want to know if it’s for real. They want to know there’s some sense of security behind the promise. They want to know…
1.) “What’s in it for me?”
2.) “Does it make sense?”
3.) “Can I use it?”
4.) “Can I afford it?”
5.) “Would I even go and tell my Mother about it?”
In reality, not all companies live up to this hype, and not all products make absolute sense. In fact, a lot of the products you find in today’s MLM opportunities would be considered ‘luxury’ items for those just starting out. Although someone may get all starry-eyed at a comp plan, or have wonderful expectations of grandeur, most are probably thinking…“If I can just set aside enough for my monthly order for three months, then surely I’ll be in profit by then. Then it will make more sense to use more of it, which will increase my volume, which will increase my profit……and so on, and so on….”
Sound familiar?
Well, the solution to all of this, and the solution for any prospective distributor, would simply be to offer…
1.) Something that offers value on a daily basis
2.) Something that makes absolute sense
3.) Something you can use every day
4.) Something that can work into your ‘normal operating budget.’
5.) Something that you can’t wait to let others know about!
In other words, you’ve got to go with an opportunity that lines up with your values…otherwise, you’re just going to sabotage any success you desire from a home based business. Now to the case at hand…
eFoods Global has in fact stepped up to the plate and started things off on the right foot. From the very start you can rest assured that they stand behind their product 100%. In fact, they’re so confident in their products that right now they are offering to ship them to you free of charge (you pay a small shipping fee).
This way you get folks involved in the process and add value up-front so that they can be convinced quickly. By doing this it becomes very easy to get folks to take action quickly and be convinced to join the opportunity. It’s a much better approach than asking them for money or a long-term commitment from the get-go. It will put them at ease and let the opportunity speak for itself.
I truly believe that eFoods Global is set to take off and become an extremely viable home based business opportunity for those looking to make a little extra income, or possibly replace their existing income.

Estess-
Tremendous truth in what you are saying. For many here in the United States they do not want to face a truth like this. It is important for people to hear and realize how real this is, thanks.
