old bill new bill

5 = 50

10 = 100

20 = 200

50 = 500

100 = 1000

OR

Simply Indicate "all" current U.S.D values and debts are reduced to be worth 10 times less by moving the decimal one position left.

Imports will be reduced to a trickle while exports soar causing a complete world wide monitary conference to more equitably equate working mans/womens subsistance requirements in the overall picture.
Interesting,

So you support the devaluation of the dollar?

I don't think the Chinese would allow it

Do you know, that the only category of economic strata in the US that is growing is the poor?
Where did you come up with this ignorant trype? Over the last 30 years, as a percentage of the population, the "poor" have decreased marginally, with the middle class also shrinking the most, the only "strata" that has really grown substantially over the last 30 years are the "rich". The middle class is not bleeding into poverty, it is soaring into the upper class.

At the end of 1945, the yuan had fallen to 1,222 = 1 USD. By May 1949, one USD fetched 23,280,000 yuan for anyone who cared to have some.

At the end of 2007 the Yuan had moved up to: 7.25 = 1 USD.

Today China owns 1/2 our debt.

If China had labor costs equal to ours and the "West" had not moved production to their country the above could not have happened.

Is the answer to bring "parity" to the value of one hour of mans labor ?

How long can our world exist in a state of labor renumeration disparity ?

How long can force of arms sustain the status quo for the west ?

Should we simply kill everyone who interferes with the current balance ?

Has it become evident our western governments have been operating a world wide shell game and the suckers are wising up ?

Is "inflation" the number one "ILL" even worse than war

Our chief export can continue to be WAR untill we are unable to compete to purchase the OIL to turn the wheels. :sneaky 2:

What is trype?
I know that tripe is something I wouldn't want to eat but I don't know what trype is.

If you'd like to ask me what I mean, please do. I am not encouraged to believe you are sincerely interested considering your approach.

I could be making all kinds of assumptions which would clarify why I said what I said. In order for you to find out if it is "trype", you would actually have to ask. Instead, you've offered your own assumptions.

So...how 'bout that population growth/population limit issue?
