Thanks to Washington’s Abuse of the Reserve Currency Role, the Dollar Is on Its Way Out

As the dollar declines, so does Washington’s power.

The De-Dollarization discussion suffers from holdover thinking that a reserve currency is needed. No reserve currency is needed. Countries can settle their trade balances in their own currencies or contracts can specify the currencies of trade transactions. Countries with low inflation and low debt will have stronger currencies than countries with high inflation and debt.

A reserve currency sets up a special country with the power to pay its own bills with endless debt. At World War II’s end, John Maynard Keynes had a better solution than the dollar as reserve currency, but Washington wanted the power of the reserve currency.

This is another thing that happens when you elect only flunky lawyers...aka bar exam passers to Washington. Remember, their undergrad major can only be History, English or Poly Sci. Not a lot of International Finance or Banking courses in Law School.

This blog is about

This blog is non-monetized and uses photos and materials from other sources. It is in compliance with Fair Use Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Code. Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
