I would agree to a point with this article and in the end believe our greatest fear should be not the dollar failing, but the tides of socialism sweeping across America. That is what investors will be looking for. Have any idea how many big corporations and individual investors invested the great USSR? We elect a democrat and implement any of there socialist ideas and then you’ll see “big” money flee from the US. Then we’re in real trouble. These fluxuations in the dollar don’t concern me too much, they’ve been there before. What does concern me is the devalued dollar coupled with socialist policies. When and if that occurs (i.e. Hillary, Edwards, Obama), then we’re in trouble.
There's a lot of folks on the right side of the aisle that are under the Socialist umbrella, too. GWB and his Socialist prescription drug give-a-way, and the Congresscritters who supported it, are prime examples.... but there are many, many more.
