The Won is worth about .09 cents.

There was a report that Gold has hit $1100 per oz.  (Us really old timers remember when it was worth $35)

What with Berenke's soft money, 0bama's spending, and the general collapse of employment, I was reading that some folks were predicting Weimar levels of inflation by next year.   I think that is just too much alarm and despondency and not enough reality.   But there is a sea of US money all over the rest of the world, and there are signs that the rest of the world isn't willing to buy out debt anymore.  Which means that the value of the dollar internationally is headed to the tank.

So, what do you thing about the prospects of inflation and such?

That bad?  No.  10-12 percent?  Absolutely.

I wouldn't be surprised if we reach parity with the yen.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
