The US Current Account Deficit is presently consuming 80-90% of the savings of every man, woman and child on the planet. To maintain our fiat currency, the US $, it is necessary that we be able to continue borrowing to compensate for our deficit spending. That will theoretically not be possible much longer. When the necessary borrowing is no longer possible, the FED will reach
cross over, the point when they will not be able to create enough money to service the $47 trillion in debt that is already in existence. The monetary/financial system will consequently then implode and the true significance of PO really will be felt. $200 oil is just not possible. We do not and will not have the money to buy it at those prices. At that point we will probably not even have money - just worthless pieces of paper.
