It was just a comment on typical liberal thinking who can't

either taxes or borrows?
Well, lately, they are doing the electronic equivalent of just
running the printing presses. And the world is noticing- the
exchange rates
That would be an improvement over the insane borrowing. Both
devalue the money, but the latter requires payback.
I predicted raging inflation a decade ago; how else can the U.S.
deal with the ten trillion dollar debt? Made it worth the

Remember that when your retirement plan sends you a check based on
what money is worth today, and a loaf of bread is fifty bucks....
If you're investing in stock, especially foreign stocks, that should

If you have some other kind of plan... well...


Careful, living on the Right Side of The Pond, I invested on the
Left Side as I thought that the £ was on the way down
internationally (as it was). My original investments on the Left
Side were doing well until the crunch. I had too much in banks,
Lehman in particular. That one cost me more than an average new auto.


Well, yeah, that's the trick. if you're trying to offset a currency
that's going down by investing in a currency that's going up, or at
least not going down as much, you have to get it right.

...and if you're going to ask advice on that, you probably want to ask
someone more tapped in than I...


I'm not but thanks for the advise!
