In Zimbabwe it takes 200 of these 250,000,000 million dollar notes to buy 2 bars of soap!!!!!!!!!!
or 50 Billion dollars!
Just like the German Weimar republic in the 1920's, Zimbabwe has printed its unbacked fiat currency into ultra-ridiculous hyper inflation.
So much so that the German firm making their money blanks have stopped supply.
I am sure these are used as toilet paper, a roll of toilet paper probably cost a trillion anyway.....LMAO!-Citizen

Thinking about a car with best MPG!
Considering gas is about $4.00 a gallon and rising, could hit $7.00-$8.00 within 18 months some analyists say. It might be times to consider upgrading to a small efficient vehicle like the toyota corolla or a Honda sub-compact manual trans. The hybrids are really too much more to consider them at this point I think. In 18 months GM is coming out with an electric car. Its painful to go to the gas station now, I find myself trying to plan my driving better, maybe hits 4-5 places at once instead of making more trips. Here is a good article.

fed inflation chart!
This federal reserve chart tells the story about their little inflation game! scroll down to the second inflation calculator and imput some numbers, for example, in 1987 I was making $7.35 an hour, they have inflated the doller so much that is equal to $19.50 today! inflation averaged about 3% in the 19oo's and perhaps 5-6% in the past decade, for example $50,000 put into a savings in 1929 at 2% interest would be about $240,000 or so yet in buying power it would be only $10,000 next to the $50,000 you put in in 1929!!! so it lost 80% of its value even though your savings read 240,000! SO the place NOT to put your money is dollars or any fiat currency, if you bought silver buillion in 1995 for $4.00 an ounce, you would at least quadrupled your money when converted back to dollars, but keep in mind that the dollar has lost about two thirds of its value since then but you are still ahead.

Big guys sell gold and silver to cover margin calls!
At $16.91 and $900 or so Gold & Silver is a great buy,the markets just got flooded with sales of bullion to cover the massive losses in the markets, I think they are near the bottom, but we will find out monday, we might see another drop monday, so I might wait and see before I grab up some silver, but at the current price its a good buy. I hope it drops to 12 monday!, then I will grab a bunch up, because throughout history silver has been 15 to 1 ratio against gold, so its due to hit 60-70 an ounce as the economy spirals downward and inflation kicks in big from the fed dumping so much money into the system with its rate cuts. During the stagflation of the late 1970's gold hit $900, indexed to inflation thats $2500! so we have not seen the metals market react as yet to all this inflationary pressure, but it is coming. -Citizen

ECONOMY IS CRASHING, WORSE THAN 1929!
Joseph Stiglitz, former head of the world bank economist sector said U.S. is heading into WORST ECONOMIC DEPRESSION since the 1930's.
http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/International_Business/Financial_crisis_worst_since_1930s/articleshow/2881608.cms
Stiglitz say's FED cuts will do nothing!-http://www.busrep.co.za/index.php?fSectionId=&fArticleId=4312283
Many months ago this man quit the world bank in protest, saying that they were going to "Harvest the wealth" of the U.S. through contrived and planned financial turmoil, well he was right.
Let me say this, out of the ashes of this catastrophe that is unfolding will rise a better government, until this comes I strongly suggest buying as much food and supplys as you can!
Diversify your portfolio in real terms means this....buy Silver or gold as 25% of your means, buy food and supply as 50% of your means, and keep or take nearly all money out of the bank in smaller bills, 1's, 5's and 10's, 20's. In the time we are entering "COMMODITY" is KING, A 10lb. bag of flour will be worth more than an ounce of silver or a lousy $20, so stash some, flour will likely rise to $25 a lb. When people are hungry a 25 lb. bag of rice will bring $500 or more, so overbuy in goods now before we see food runs, you can find 25 lb. bags at Sams club for $15. Having enough plus, surplus will give you great bargaining power in the coming barter market/economy.
We are talking a long haul here, so it would not be out of line to buy 3-4 thousand worth of food, can you imagine the return value of this in a starvation scenario? A 50 lb. sack of flour will be like gold. We all see the U.S. economy crashing, only an idiot in denial does not take heed.
Simple supplys now will garner great amounts of worth in the near future, toilet paper, tampons, pads, flour, rice, dried beans, canned goods stc, If you are smart enough to see the writing on the wall buy and stash NOW, and tell no one, as those who hoard will be sold out to the government quickly when bellies get empty. Sim[ly put, a box of instant potatoes in the hand will be worth more than a silly $100.00 fiat piece of paper from the federal reserve.
We are NOW inside this collapse, do NOT be in denial...prepare and survive!-Citizen

Tax payer bail out 4th largest american bank!!!!!
Tax payers bail out high flying Bear Stearns
(New York, New York) Ucs Financial News: Bear Stearns, squeezed by the sub-prime crisis, needs an emergency loan and America cash strapped tax payers will foot the bill. Finally after 7 years the Bush-o-nomics master plan is complete. Middle and lower class families facing foreclosure and record high fuel prices get to bail out Wall Streets Blue suited bandits.
Bear Stearns said its ability to finance its operations had "significantly deteriorated" in the preceding 24 hours, compelling it to borrow an undisclosed amount of money from the Fed. Meanwhile my neighbor is two months behind on his mortgage but the Fed isn't returning his calls.George W. Bush should be proud, the upward distribution of Americans wealth is nearly complete. I'm just waiting for Exxon Mobile to start buying up Americas foreclosed property. Maybe Alan Schwartz, Bear Stearns' chief executive will be selling his 2nd and 3rd homes to help rescue the working stiffs that just saved his butt? Or maybe he should turn his salary over to the share holders that just got wiped out? Maybe he should resign and let an adult run the show?

The Amero has arrived! U.S., dollar to be inflated to nothing!
OK, these are not government issue but done by a guy, check this website...http://www.dc-coin.com/index.asp?Category=8&PageAction=VIEWCATS
Lou dobbs over a year ago...video...
Here are some idiots joking about the amero 1 year ago...
VIDEO-2minutes on AMERO, this is 11 months old.
TAKE any dollars you have and convert them to gold, silver or Euros at least, everyday the dollar falls, they are printing them as fast as possibly to flood the market and pay debts with paper, making yours toilet paper, once everyone understands this they will all dump them fast and at once, literally overnight your dollars will be made into less than toilet paper, DO NOT WAIT! You think the FDIC insurance will save you? think again, what good in any case is replacing your 20K or 50 K or 100K if it only buys a loaf of bread?
We can see what they are doing, monitizing all debts by out of control printing, and soon, when they can no longer lower interest rates the economy will go into a freefall, out of this collapse and turmoil will the NAU be introduced as the only solution. IT IS HERE!
I think we will see all of this come to pass within several months.
When China and the other holders of this massive sham understand what is happening they will dump immediately. THE U.S. DOLLAR WILL BE WORTHLESS!
WE HAVE BEEN THE NAU FOR 3 YEARS! they just have not told the sheeple yet...
BUY SILVER! BUY GOLD! BUY COMMODITIES! DUMP THE DOLLAR BEFORE THE WORLD DOES!
WORLD NET DAILY ARTICLE BELOW...
In an interview with CNBC, a vice president for a prominent London investment firm yesterday urged a move away from the dollar to the "amero," a coming North American currency, he said, that "will have a big impact on everybody's life, in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico."
Steve Previs, a vice president at Jefferies International Ltd., explained the Amero "is the proposed new currency for the North American Community which is being developed right now between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico."
The aim, he said, according to a transcript provided by CNBC to WND, is to make a "borderless community, much like the European Union, with the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar and the Mexican peso being replaced by the amero."
Previs told the television audience many Canadians are "upset" about the amero. Most Americans outside of Texas largely are unaware of the amero or the plans to integrate North America, Previs observed, claiming many are just "putting their head in the sand" over the plans.
(Story continues below)
CNBC asked Previs whether he thought NAFTA was "working and doing enough."
He replied: "Until it created a lot of illegal immigrants coming across the border. I don't know. You get the pros and cons on NAFTA. For some people it is a good thing, and for other people it has been a disaster."
The speculation on the future of a new North American currency came amid a major U.S. dollar sell-off worldwide that began last week.
Yesterday, the dollar also reached new multi-month low against the euro, breaking through the $1.30 per euro technical high that had held since April 2005.
At the same time, the Chinese central bank set the yuan at 7.0402 per dollar, the highest level since Beijing established a new currency exchange system in 2005 that severed China's previous policy of tying the value of the yuan to the U.S. dollar.
Many analysts worldwide attributed the dramatic fall in the value of the U.S. dollar at least partially to China's announcement last week that it would seek to diversify its foreign exchange currency holdings away from the U.S. dollar. China recently has crossed the threshold of holding $1 trillion in U.S. dollar foreign-exchange reserves, surpassing Japan as the largest holder in the world.
Barry Ritholtz, chief market strategist for Ritholtz Research & Analytics in New York City, in a phone interview with WND, characterized today's downward move of the dollar as "wackage," a new word he coined to convey that the dollar is being "whacked" in this current market movement.
Ritholtz told WND that yesterday's downward move "was a major market correction that points to the risk of subsequent downside to the dollar."
Asked whether he would characterize the dollar's downside move as signaling a possible collapse, Mr Ritholtz told WND, "Not yet."
Ritholtz pointed out market professionals had long looked at a dollar collapse as a "low probability event," but the recent fall suggests "the probabilities have increased of a major dollar correction, or even of a collapse."
U.S. trade imbalances with China have hit a record $228 billion this year, largely reflecting a surging flow of containers from China with retail goods headed for the U.S. mass market.
Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez is in Bejing leading a trade delegation of more than two dozen U.S. business executives.
"The future should be focused on exporting to China," Guiterrez told reporters in Bejing, noting that this year, U.S. exports to China are up 34 percent on a year-to-year basis, surpassing last year's gain of 20 percent.
One way to improve the U.S. trade imbalance may be to ease up on restrictions of exporting high-tech products and allowing technology transfers to China, a move likely to be politically charged in the U.S.
The decline in value of the dollar will also make U.S. exports more attractive and Chinese exports to the U.S. more expensive.
In February 2007, a virtually unprecedented top-level U.S. economic mission is scheduled to travel to China. Included in the mission are Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Jr., Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
Previs declined to be interviewed for this article, telling WND in an e-mail he did not want to be quoted directly in any article that may express a political point of view.

Former Labor Secretary Reich: 'I Think There's a 20 Percent Chance of a Depression'
I always thought this guy Reich was very intelligent, but I think he is being far too optimistic, there are simply too many factors driving the economy into the toilet, low paying jobs, housing crash, coming commercial housing crash, insolvency of banks and mortgage lenders, endless expensive wars and coming war on Iran, hyperinflation coming as Fed bails out "banks?!?!" The crashing dollar will decimate peoples savings accounts etc. etc. etc.-I say there is a 100% chance of depression, the corner the Fed and its policys have painted our economy into there is absolutely no way out of!-Citizen
