1) The dollar dives and gas goes to about $9.00 per gallon.

The dollar would have to be cut to a value of a third of what it is today. At the current rate, that will take 20 to 30 years.

2) The dollar doesn’t dive and gas goes to about $7.00 per gallon.

I disagree with your assessment that the only solution to save the dollar is to tax the "crap" out of the middle class. However, liberals will do anything to get their filthy hands on our money, and to them their is nothing sacred about gasoline.

Unfortunately, this action will not save the dollar. Stopping their tax and spend ways will.

LOL. The current rate goes out the door once confidence is lost...which it basically is now. Just look at the price of gold for the past two years, and you’ll see what people REALLY think of the dollar. As to oil, it’s low now due to slow economic activity...once the rest of the world picks up, we’re toast.

I agree with you...but even half the oldies on this site DEMAND their Social Security money back. They really seem to believe that it’s locked up in Al Gore’s house or something. If these people, who are otherwise ideal conservatives, can’t get past this, we really have no choice but to follow the European path and tax the crap out of the middle class....or watch the dollar crash.
