Economic Stimulus Package

The Devaluation of the American Dollar Continues

Rik Rodriguez
It still amazes me that Americans believe politicians, such as George Bush. Its not a party issue but more an issue of personal character. It doesn't really matter if you are a supporter or not of the present administration, you can easily observer the lack of competence in doing ones job by looking at the external out come of the present policies that have been instituted.

Looking at this administrations decisions and solutions to almost academic challenges with amazement. Most semi-educated Americans know that our currency has not been backed by gold for years.The United States has very little so-called "Government" gold bullion in Fort Knox. We also know that the Gold that the USA is supposed to process has not been properly tested or inventoried. We also know that the USA isn't competitive in a global economy. Basically we have let this happen to ourselves. Meaning that the country is bankrupt, insolvent and has little recourse.

Look at our elderly they are convinced that spending 100s of dollars on drugs per month is improving the quality of their lives? A small example of what America has become. A bunch of pill popping drug addicts that are unable to take responsibility for themselves. These are the majority of people in America that I see, they will not research for themselves s and learn about treatments or cures for their conditions. So you see the problem goes much deeper that government policy and administrative execution of said policy. The American society in general has been brainwashed plain and simple,some see it but most just go along with it.

So where would the present administration get lets say 100 million dollars, when the USA owes more than their GNP? They will print the money, and put more currency into circulation. This is one of the factors that stimulate inflation. Increasing the volume of circulation currency will de-value the dollar even more and could send the country into a deeper recession than it is already in.

Seems to me like just simple logic. But Americans still rely on there TVs for information as they get the latest FDA approved drug shoved in their face. Hey tell your doctor you need this drug because you have all these symptoms. They believe that the government is looking out for their best interests. When in fact we live in a socialist society bordering on a dictatorship. Its very difficult to own property here. I have seen one person in my life with clear title to his property from the government and it took him 20 years to get it.

In all my life I have never seen Americans so scared of their government, why wouldn't they be with the past history or incarcerating more people than any society that are non violent. While letting violent habitual offenders such as multiple DUI offenders roam free to kill. These issues will not be solved in the manor in which you think they will. If history is any indication of what will happen. The Economic Stimulus Package proposed will sink this country even faster to its now 3rd world status. It will devalue the dollar and I expect the rich will get even richer.
