geminijax Champion Author Jacksonville Posts:16,812 Points:2,723,695 Joined:Aug 2005	Message Posted: May 2, 2012 12:10:42 AM Ignore geminijax Report Abuse The ONLY reason the USD isn't toast yet is because of the lack of a viable alternative. If the Euro countries hadn't been in so much trouble, the USD would already have been in deep trouble. The supply of dollars has more than tripled since Comrade Obama took office. More supply leads to lower prices. Countries are looking to other alternatives such as the Swiss franc and currencies that are "backed by" natural resources, such as the Canadian dollar, the Aussie dollar, etc. Give it another year or two. By 2013-2015, the effects of the declining USD will be felt heavily by the masses in the US.
