Matthew Jaffe of ABC News continues to follow up on the disastrous fiscal policies of Bush (continued by Obama) in destroying the worth of the dollar by printing more money and spending trillions to shore up Wall Street rather than Main Street. The ramifications of policies by Paulson and Bernanke will be experienced far more than they are now, especially if China requires us to back up the greenback.

Check my past stories on NewsTrust about the destruction of the dollar when Paulson and Bernanke bailed out Wall Street by giving banks money with no interest, essentially destroying the required relationship between savings and loans.

States should not “take for granted” the dollar’s status because it will be challenged in the future by a growing number of other options.

I write for Coin World and am a professional numismatist as well as a journalist. The price of gold yesterday broke records. Numismatists are buying gold and silver in record numbers anticipating what’s coming.
