I'm not surprised -- look at the recent developments in Iran and North
Korea. The day may come when historians wonder why we were spending so
_little_.


Yes. Go on spending. The dollar has fallen only 5% in the
last week. Just go on, then future historians will have
a hell of work to explain why the U.S. empire disappeared
in a mountain of DEBT.


A currency can fall based on printing too many dollars, or on having
too few goods. Nuclear missiles hitting one's own cities tend to
precipitously reduce the number of available goods.
