MEANING OF MONEY  HONEST MONEY NOT FIAT IOU'S MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE MEANS OF VALIE STANDARD VALUE STORE OF VALIUE LEGALLY ACCEPTED MEANS OF PAYMENT THE DOLLAR IS NOT BACKED BY GOLD, SILVER OR ANY INTRINSICALLY VALUABLE ASSETS. EVENTUALLY WHEN THERE IS A GLOBAL CURRENCY (GOLD) WE WILL HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS. THESE ARE BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS WORK. THE DECLINE OF THE DOLLAR IS TAKING PLACE BEFORE OUR VERY EYES AGAINST ALL MAJOR CURRENCIES.  IN PRACTICALLY ALL COUNTRIES OUTSIDE OUR BORDERS WE  ARE CONSIDERED A ROUGE TERRORIST STATE. THE IMPOSSIBLE DEBT OBLIGATIONS INCLUDING THE IRAQ WAR EXPLAINS WHY THE ECONOMIC KNOW-IT-ALLS STOPPED PUBLISHING M-3. I WISH THIS WAS A CRAZY DOOMDAY THEORY BUT THE FACTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES, EXAMINE THE DOLLAR AGAINST THE EURO AND YEN. THE TRUTH WHICH IS SELF-EVIDENT IS THAT THE VALUE OF THE DOLLAR IS DECLINING AT A RATE WHICH WILL LEAD TO EVENTUAL COLLAPSE.   IT IS A GIVEN THAT THE DOLLAR IS PREPARING FOR A SERIOUS CORRECTION. THE REASONS FOR THIS ARE MANY BUT THE MAIN REASON IS INFLATION (PRINTING TOO MUCH MONEY) AND THAT AMERICAN'S HAVE NO SAVINGS. WHEN THE DOLLAR WAS BACKED BY GOLD THE FOMC (FEDERAL OPEN MARKET COMMISSION) COULD ONLY PRINT AS  MUCH MONEY AS GOLD WOULD JUSTIFY. BELIEVE IT OR NOT LIMITS TO PRINTING MONEY SIMPLY PROVED TOO MUCH FOR THE GOVERNMENT. I CAN'T SAY I BLAME THEM IF I HAD A MONEY PRESS IN MY GARAGE AND COULD PRINT AS MUCH MONEY AS I BELIEVED I NEEDED I WOULD FIND INCENTIVES AND MUSCLES I NEVER KNEW I HAD PRESSING OUT DOLLAR BILLS AS FAST AS I COULD. I NEED A JET THESE TRAFFIC JAMS ARE GETTING ME DOWN.. I FEEL CERTAIN EVEN AN ECONOMIC HISTORIAN WOULD HAVE TROUBLE EXPLAINING HOW WITH THIS FREEDOM OF THE PRESS (MONEY PRESS) AND THE FACTS HOW THE USA MANAGED TO GET SO FAR IN DEBT. AT LEAST ONE EXPLAINATION WOULD BE BASED ON COMPETITION ANOTHER ON GOVT. INTERVENTION IN THE MARKETPLACE. IN ANY CASE OUR CURRENT ACCOUNT BALANCE IS OUT OF PROPORTION. THE AUTO-EQUILIBRIUM CHECKS AND BALANCES SYSTEM SO INTEGRAL TO DEMOCRACY STOPPED WORKING A WHILE BACK AND OUR BALLOON PAYMENT IS NEARING. THESE OBSERVATIONS ARE NOT NEW LIKE GLOBAL WARMING ESSENTIALLY EVERY LITERATE PERSON ALIVE KNOWS (1) THE EARTH IS CHANGING RAPIDLY AND THE CAUSES ARE LARGELY MAN-INDUCED AND (2) WHEN A ENTITY BE A MAN OR COUNTRY GETS SO FAR IN DEBT THEY CAN NO LONGER MAKE THEIR PAYMENTS THEY FORECLOSE, DECLARE BANKRUPTCY, ETC. CAN THE USA STOP OR REVERSE THIS TREND? YES! PULL OUT OF IRAQ, RETOOL OUR AUTO INDUSTRY TO MAKE FLEX CARS THAT CAN RUN ON ANY VEGETABLE OIL, (CREATING ENERGY INDEPENDENCE) STOP SPENDING AND START SAVING, REPLACE COAL-BURNING PLANTS WITH NUCLEAR PLANTS AND IN THE MEANTIME SERIOUSLY FINE PETROLEUM AND COAL-BURNING PLANTS IF THEY DO NOT MEET CLEAN EMISSION SPECIFICATIONS, GIVE TAX BREAKS TO ECO-FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGIES, SOLAR, WIND AND WAVE POWER.
