Within the next month or two, these three trends will reach their unavoidable conclusion: a loss of faith in US debt and the dollar . This will produce something never before seen in modern economics: simultaneous deflation and hyperinfation . Foreign and domestic investors will rush move their wealth out of the dollar by selling US assets (Treasuries, bonds, stocks , etc...). The selling of US assets will accelerate the deflationary collapse we have experienced so far this year, and the move out of the dollar will drive up the costs of oil, food, and other commodities we consume.

Every single bad thing happening in our great country is the fault of Democrats and the complete morons who voted for them.

Exactly!! There is nothing wrong with this country that 8 more years of Bush working with a Republican controlled Congress couldn''t fix. I shudder to think of the dismal state this country will be in after four years of liberal rule.

"Any money would be on top of the $25 billion in loans that Congress passed in September to help retool auto plants to build more fuel-efficient vehicles."

I keep trying to tell you people, in case you couldn''t tell these last eight years, the markets are fixed. Right now they are killing two birds with one stone. GM is priced for the rich to see the 1300% returns they are used to. Gm also is going to cut paying their pensions (government accepted), as they''ve made blatantly obvious these last few weeks in the market propaganda media. Now once they are "back on their feet" and raking in the cash come 2011-2012, do you think they are going to reinstate paying those pensions? Of course not, so let''s see. Do everything possible, in the propaganda media, to make your value appear down. Scare all the grandparents into selling their stocks at huge losses (95%) by telling them the company is going to be "worthless" ("sell, grandma, now that it''s at the bottom"). Move the rich and connected in for profits that are going to be through the ceiling in three years (what''s 1300% on a few million?). Ask the government to pick up the pensions or they''re going to have to cut them. Once those are gone start making money hand over fist, and all those pensions, conveniently, are gone, meaning more money for the companies elite, at the expense of people who worked their whole life, for a promise reneged on.

Love American greed.

Why don''''t they just give the U.S. away?

lollll...after, what - 14 years of Republican Congress and 8 years of a Republican President - and all of their debt?

You can''t get clear title to the U.S. any more.
