Headline only.
Oh my goodness. You two just said the same thing, the same second of time.
I don’t believe that was a coincedence!
Potter = Soros?
Did you know there was a Lost Ending?
Politically, this could be a boost to fiscal conservatives in November. A bankrupt Greece, fighting on the streets between the fascists and communists, etc., will not play well with voters. Austerity is going to sell a lot better than more left-wing stimulus.
The great plains area of north america will be the last to suffer. East and west coasts will be the first, followed by the gulf, southwest, and the great lakes areas.
I’m sure a LOT of people were thinking the same thing at that second.
Don’t forget to pick up an extra 50 pounds of flour or rice at Costco on the way home, that $17 purchase will be worth a lot soon...
I guess the explanation for that would be that silver isn’t going down, the dollar is going up because all those greeks are putting their money in american banks.
Worm-ranching. I can worm ranch, starting today. If they’re good enough for the robins and catfish, I can eat ‘em too.
Good point. Dollars are worth more when the integrity of the euro is in doubt.
Sir, the canary just died. We are truly effed up.
Probably months ago. Occupy_Whatever. Just seemed appropriate with a bank(?) in the background.
If you include obligations, yes.
Well put.
(((Ping))) for later.
You hit that nail right on the head!
US $ is the cleanest shirt in the dirty laundry pile.
I hope I am properly invested in a diverse group of items. Gold, Lead, Tin (canned foods)
Once the first domino goes (Greece) the rest are going to follow. I suspect we will see IL or CA go before the country.
I think things are already in motion and replacing Zero with Mittens will be to little to late. They are just going to push Mitt out in front of the speeding bus to take the blame.
When currencies crash, the people seek stable currency ($) until their government disallows this practice.
Happens every time.
But what will WE go to when the dollar crashes?
Gold/Silver?
Indeed, it’s not “if”, it’s “when”.
Mittens may be able to delay the crash, if simply for the fact that he doesn’t WANT it to crash like the current occupant does.
But, I think it’s too late to stop the train.
And our passengers are as bad or worse than Greece’s passengers.
