The Eurozone may be forced to undergo severe economic and political adjustments in order to manage a currency system they're stuck with. Many Europeans are suddenly realizing that they had no idea what they were agreeing to when they joined...
The time when we could have done something to fix the system is now long gone, courtesy of the administration's waffling for the past two years as instead of getting to the root cause of the last and future crash, it was focused on bailing out bankru
Already the Euro has given up 100% of its gains. Round trip currency moves of 3% each way, from 1.27 to 1.31 and back, in just over a day are not the norm to say the least. This could get very interesting soon enough.

-The second is that that the market will see through the charade of debt that is again unfolding and by week’s end we will have retraced most of this morning’s moves. That is a scary outcome. There is no round two on this bailout. This is it.
"Money is printed or created and thrown at people to actually cover their insolvency with waves of free money and waves of liquidity that we end up with fiat currencies being completely devalued in the eyes of people and gold at $7,000 an ounce...
With what authority does Bernanke effectively appropriate? Was there an appropriation bill that I seem to have missed by Congress? Or has Bernanke, once again, decided on a unitary basis to entirely ignore the US Constitution?

This is a legal minefield. A group of professors has already filed a case at Germany's Constitutional Court, claiming that the Greek bail-out is illegal and that the EMU is degenerating into a zone of monetary disorder.
Here is a simplified representation of why anything and everything that the EU, ECB and the IMF can do now is simply delay the inevitable disintegration of the eurozone and the upcoming eventual debt payment moratorium.
Euro (and the market) surging on rumors that the ECB is preparing to bail out 1,100 banks in Europe. And with that the bailout moves officially to Europe. From the dealer community:
Europe is dead. The European nations are the victors, and the way ahead will be one hell of a mess. Without taxing and borrowing power, there is no way to square the inter-euro trade balances between the countries except ‘internal devaluation,’
Unity of currency without unity of government and fiscal policy and taxation is difficult if not impossible to maintain. One world currency is the step to one world government. And those who control the currency will, almost inevitably, control the..
The Treasury is still fishing for blanket authority to change compositions rather than asking the Congress to authorize a specific replacement composition as used to be done.

Reuters: President O announced details of his new initative to pass the “Retirement Annuity Act “(RAA). The president said the taxpayer does not have the necessary sophisticated financial knowledge (no inside information, no lobbyists to ensure la
As you know, Russia, India, China and some of the BRIC-like countries will continue to push hard for a gold and silver content in the new formulation of the SDR this year. The US and UK are vehemently opposed.

WXII News from Winston Salem, N.C. reports on counterfeit money being spread around the local area. Someone is turning $5.00 into $100.00 bills and using them for ordinary purchases.
