It appears we are prepared to enter into a currency war with the east to win back some jobs.

, Agent Smith, Matrix Revolutions, 2003.Bryan - I'm a recently retired US Army veteran of 20yrs that has, over the last 16yrs, bought, sold, and traded for profit a little bit of everything (jewelry to foreign currency exchange to vehicles to real estate) oth stateside and overseas by pooling the resources of a unique network of Soldiers, DOD civilians, and retirees that I have invested with and for during these last 16yrs with an acceptable rate of success.

Basically we are witnessing the devaluation of our currency.

Over the years, I've done a lot of investing in stocks, mutual funds, options, warrants, commodities and foreign currencies, but am now focusing more of my time and energy into real estate.

However, the money used to pay the loan back with are worth less and less as our government keeps printing more and more currency.

Why should other states' citizens have to pay to bail those states out via increased taxes or an inflated currency?

Anyone who does know, please feel free to chime in on ANY alternative to our fiat currency.

We're not yet on the healing side of the currency crisis.

Crises exist still in other countries and in the CURRENCIES of other countries.

In an FX trade if you buy a currency with a higher interest rate then the one you are selling you can essentially make a small profit for time you hold on to the currency and it appreciates in value, hence the carry trade which was VERY popular prior to 2007 and it still popular to some extent in todays market.
