Disappointed? Sure. Deserving of ejection from their nationality? I'd say no.

Congressman and senators, are the last people on earth , unless they have an advanced degree in economics to be riding this bronco, but that’s who we are stuck with.
It appears, appears mind you the one who will be successful will be the one who takes advice from the experts, and leaves politics out of it.
Yea, I know, that ranks up there with me, Mariah Carey and the end of the world….
The dollar the Culprit? - I think not.

As an agnostic I don't understand your response.

Most of our debt accumulated from deficit spending over the past several years has been DoD/war related and that fiscal irresponsibility (in conjunction with our foreign policy) has been tagged as a primary contributor to USD devaluation. We're a debtor nation using ongoing war debt to partially drive our GDP; does it get any dumber than that?

Re: Oil hits $114/barrel - No end in sight.
$200-250 sounds about right. I haven't seen a model projecting the last six-months of increase rate out a year or so. Has anyone else?

Re: Oil hits $114/barrel - No end in sight.
200 dollars a barrel is possible in the next year.

Gas might see 6-7 dollars a gallon.

I bet SUV sales will look like a graph of US test scores in math and science.

everything is accidental, coincidence, nothing planned and orchestrated,

our government was wrong, they made a mastake... we must stand behind our leaders and support the troops...

the people profiting from these wars must feel really bad about it.

thank goodness our dollar is MIGHTY! and not about to collapse!
