US Energy Independence Or A Countdown...

[cronus]

....dollar is printed by US, they game the global financial and energy trading markets constantly. So is it really energy independence on the cards? or is it a deliberate timetabled withdrawal from world markets and isolationism - in effect a lock in like you'd find in a totalitarian regime? America media and bubble heads are pushing this as energy independence...the more I've investigated the notion the more it resembles isolationism. A timetable for dictatorship would not be passed as that until the day after...but for gullible Americans a couple of words could be helpful in hiding the necessary policy shifts before hand.

If anything it would probably fix their shocking balance of trade figures, which I imagine would probably make their economy (and therefore society) more stable. Although, finance is like voodoo to me, so I could be totally wrong in this theory.

Yeah, 101 economics - leave man alone with money printer....he'll print and print and print and print. Paper currencies tank as stand alone products....like they did in Germany, but the current crop of politicians got themselves a fix to ensure price controls work across the board.

I don't know what you are babbling about. Fixing the terms of trade would require less printing of money, wouldn't it?

....figure authorities have a plan to keep the pluses and minuses in harmony on a computer. Won't be pretty when the wire mesh of that model limits fiscal aid and bankrupts entire cities. Less money printing like you say....saves a fortune in ink if some useless marginalised folks die away too.

....at the end of it you'll have a control-command economy in the US, it would have become a Soviet Union.
