$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('MadScientist', 'P')erhaps the American policy makers have a vision of the near future as grim as many of us do.
Perhaps they agree that we have become massively overpopulated as a planet because of cheap abundant energy.
Perhaps they've abandoned any notion of maintaining the world as we have known it.
So many people fault our leadership because they arent trying to solve an unsolvable problem.
Look beyond your wish that someone can fix the mess we're in and observe the actions that are being taken by America:
-invasion and attempt to control world's key oil reserve region
-military buildup
-disregard for established economic and financial systems.
-disregard for the american population's preparation for coming changes.
Pretty clear to me they arent planning for the future we'd like to see.
There are powerful government entities full of the BRIGHTEST minds in America. These people have the best of modern technology and unlimited resources at their disposal. It's by no means George Bush, or whoever lands in the oval office next, running the world.

Great insight. Most people won’t admit that they really don’t know what forces are at work in the world and what the goals really are. But you are absolutely correct when you say they are not working toward the future we want, because what we want, we can’t have, and they know that.

Thanks much for your input here.
Could you elaborate more as to what you see the US dollar doing the next two years? In particular, in relationship to Iran, do you see a military conflict as more likley than not in this time frame?
It's already over, now it's just a matter of adjusting.

Exactly!! Bush/Chaney are not the idiots the main stream press makes them out to be. They are peak oil true believers!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Petrodollar', '.').."We're strong dollar people..." Is he serious? What kind of silly Orwellian nonsense is that? These kind of comments are idiotic. Their ideologically driven 2001 & 2003 tax cuts wrecked the dollar's valuation relative to almost every major currency - esp the euro. Oh, I forgot, this administration has absolute disdain for the reality based community.
I agree with you; I think the thing that really poleaxed the US dollar was the tax cuts, particularly with war and defence spending being so mindlessly astronomical. It's caused the US to borrow like never before. Someone has to face the tough call and either raise revenues, cut military expenses, or preferably both. It's the only way the US can recover its economic health.
