As time goes by.. “what if’s” have been erased from thought and the only thought left is  “when?”

Stimulus, TARP, Bailouts, Military stationed all over the world from Korea to Iraq, and other unfunded liabilities.  It’s hard to turn on the news or pickup  the paper and believe everything is okay or that the recession is over.

The problem is the playbook from the Great Depression is being followed and a corrective recession from the Greenspan age is being turned into “Helicopter Ben’s” Great and Last Depression for the U.S. dollar.

We have one of the biggest decisions to make as a society, perhaps one of the biggest we will face if we are to avoid following the burned paths of ROME and the Soviet Union.  The decision we have to make is “What will the role of our Government be in our lives?”

American consumption can only continue with funding from abroad, but the time will come when we’re going to be detached from the gravy train.  The U.S. dollar is no longer as good as gold and it’s becoming clearer everyday to to our creditors that we can’t pay them back.  When this happens the they’ll print the money, that will steal the wealth of everyone who has savings in U.S. dollars, I.R.A’s, Government Bonds, CD’s, and they’ll be wiped out.

The “argument” or fear propaganda for the bailout funds was that if the banks go under you wouldn’t be able to withdraw your savings.  Did anyone ask what would happen to the value of our dollar if we bailed out failing companies?
