    We never came out of the recession. Fake money was printed to banks and rich people to invest with. We never recovered and it wont be until we face the real problem that we will have a real recovery.

    Long as that fake money keeps paying my mortgage I ain't complaining.

    Where is all this cheap freight? Want to make sure I don't stumble across it on my way home every nite :p

    all money is fake, but US greenbacks are believed in more than any other by far. The illusion is working.

    For now ... What happens when Iraq wants to trade a train full of oil for a train full of grain and oh we didn't need to buy us dollars and we got what we needed ... Oh we attack them because we need to "stabilize the region" or "they have weapons of mass destruction " ... Who the hell would ever fly into somewhere they had nukes? Why aren't we trying to free the north Koreans?

    Youll complain when the fake money stops and the bill is due.

    How could a bill be due if the money is fake ? The agreement would be for payment in dollars, yes ?
