This is a great thread and i just read all 5 pages and learned a lot. I have no real formal education in econ, but seeing as i now have a lucrative career my money and fiances is something i have been taking a huge interest in.
That said, i have been reading a lot of doomsayer articles about the fall of the US dollar as the global standard currency. Apart from conspiracy theories, and one world currencies, are the consequences as dire as they are purported to be?
The Fed as it seems, is determined to leave me homeless, jobless and hungry with excessive spending. And it's easy to take a alarmist perspective against this future. What does one do as a upper middle class worker do protect their wealth and fiances?
Is the dollar really going to collapse? Should we of bit the proverbial "bullet" and let those banks fail and lived through the following depression? I mean i just wanna know. As a outsider looking in, all of this is really unsettling.
I guess what i am asking, is who do i vote for? What polices should I back. What do i do as a citizen to help keep my family and wealth stable seeing as a gold standard is now completely out of the question and appears more akin to communism then economics.
