Deep Doody.

My study of economics goes slowly, but I got a little much needed help in the form of a cute finance guy. He writes to me:

The dollar is being eroded by irresponsible and unchecked government spending. Inflation will rise tremendously in the next few years which will coincide with a depression in the Real Estate market. Oil will shoot back up again and go much higher in the next few years until we can finally come up with a real and affordable alternative.

In the meantime, gold and other commodities will go through the roof. Actually, silver and copper even more. Oh and the US economic institutions and Corporations will eventually be all foreign owned, and by that I mean the Sovereign funds--i.e. Foreign governments. We're in deep doody.

I'll make him explain more when we have coffee later this week. Till then, we also have an election happening soon. Check out this petition to the UN, calling for their monitoring of the US presidential elections. Considering some of the shit that went down in 2000, the UN's help would be appreciated. I don't know if these online petitions work. I'll do some investigation.
