The US don't care about the rest of the world... see far east markets tank... no worries, see Dubai have problems, no worries.

The US has a strong dollar well contained policy that is contained to the US and as long at the banksters are okay and well funded with free money there are no cares in the world (as applies to the US as that is the centre of the universe and nothing else exists outside this area)

US dollar will rally
Deflationary crash continues. They said US dollar is worthless. They said US dollar is dead. Why can't Dubai find few dollars and pay off debt???

In the past economy seemed to be doing OK solely due to credit inflation that FED has fostered. FED made it easy to borrow. America borrowed and spent. When we borrow money, banks create new money and give it to us. They do not lend existing money. Here is how banks create money.

http://www.tradingstocks.net/ html/banks_create_money.html

Why does it matter? Well, all of our money supply is bank credit. It is borrowed money. It needs to be paid back as principal + interest. The interest portion is not even created yet. Borrowing MUST increase exponentially so that principal+interest amount exists in the economy so that people can earn it and pay back what they owe. What happens when borrowing stops? Deflationary crash occurs. Debt problem:

FED and the US government are running a ponzi scheme that is about to stop now. There is a limit to how much people can borrow. To make it last what did they do? They allowed people to deduct mortgage interest from income tax. That made mortgage more attractive. So people borrowed more and injected new money into the economy. This new money makes the current administration look good. After prime borrowers were exhausted, they changed the rules to allow sub-prime borrowers get big mortgages. Now sub-prime is exhausted and the crash has started.
