That's Aaron Russo's film about the federal reserve banking system.

The value of the dollar like every other currency is set by a number of factors not least of which are GDP and money supply. Since the advent of central banking and the beginnings of the global market fixing money to gold levels just became impossible.
The dollar is going to continue going down the toilet while the US keeps printing them at full speed. Bush can pretend all is well and the Treasury Secretary can claim that he's running a strong dollar policy but the foreign exchange markets don't lie.
Well seeing how we're in the biggest debt the world has ever known it makes sense to devalue the dollar to pay off the debt.
Also if you believe in the Amero (a monetary union of Canada, Mexico, and the USA made to counter the Euro) then it would only make sense to devalue the dollar to get the American public behind such a plan....if one exists.
Either way it was bound to happen.....also if you devalue the dollar enough maybe you ease the undocumented migration to the US.
I am not for this because it makes travel impossible but oh well shit happens, the money will come back up in some form
80% of the stuff Wal Mart sells is foreign imports. What happens when you walk into Wal Mart and the price tags make you think you've wandered into Neiman Marcus by mistake ?
What about $10 a gallong gas?
What about double digit interest rates because foreign creditors holding your depreciating dollars demand ever-higher rates of return to keep buying them ?
What about double digit inflation to go with it ?
In a couple of years the economic situation will get to a point where Americans will start paying attention to what's going on in the economy. Hopefully. And more hopefully Lumpy McCain will win the election and continue the same dumbass policies that got us here so that Obama doesn't get the blame and become the new Jimmy Carter.
Vote Lumpy '08.
The US Dollar is also like 98 cents Australian..
Most of my life if I saw something in US dollars, the general rule was to just double it (50cents) to work out how much it would cost me in my old Aussie dollars.. About 10 years ago it was around 75c cents from memory... Now it's almost equal..
So it's great for anyone outside America to order products from there...
In our stores however, American products are still 3 to 4 times the price they are in America.. So it's only cheaper to order from online..
But you know what?? I've actually come across a couple of US stores, changing their prices to British Pounds to preserve come of their prices... Not sure how it's working for them..

Kirkland you are a doom and gloom guy when Republicans can claim any power at all.
These things happen and it's not unusual for them to happen in an election year.
The economy should be the LEAST of Obama's worries considering his ties to Rev. Wright and Farakhan.
the opposite is also true though. the higher the price of imports means that domestic producers are more competitive in the global markets, and also more competitive at home.
it's incredibly complex.... issue such as these.... that's why everyone argues over weak dollar stong dollar and everything else.
Our interest rates have gone up HUGELY over the past 2 years as well... As all our major banks and financial institutions have a lot of money invested in America and it's economy/dollar.... So they pass on all their losses to us... Next thing we'll be having a housing market crash, so we're not to far behind you guys i'm thinking.
