Guest Post: Apocalypse Not: The Dollar
The apocalyptic flavor of the month is dollar crisis. One should take the possibility seriously. The data does offer reasonable assurance that it won't happen anytime soon. Yes, even in spite of massive (but not unprecedented) fiscal and monetary craziness, a socialist president, a populist legislature, and seething people just itching for the whole outhouse to go up in flames. Why doesn't it make sense that the dollar should be out on its rear while gold or oil and their devotees dance in the street?
