link don't work but the headline says enough. Several commentators have been saying that if Gulf moves away from dollar then the dollar will run down, especially if that is followed by pricing oil in euros.
Hi guys,
Had problems with site and page but it seems to be back now. So here it is again...
Gulf countries move away from $.
Very significant in my opinion.
It's primary ally in the region
Saudi Arabia also recently said the occupation of Iraq was illegal.
Well look I've been shouting about this and and twin defecits along with many other economists since last November.
1. Need tax rises to starve demand and reduce liquidity
2. Need interest rate rises to justify holding $
Need both for effective policy to reduce budget and BoP defecit. One on it's own will not work. This will entail a lot of pain and adjustment to the American public.
Who is the cause, the Republicans and primarily Bush administration. Maybe they'll tax Halliburton and take away Dick Cheney's pension to pay off their defecits.
Who said the Pentagon is there to protect it's citizens. It's like a money printing press.
Someone said Super Powers can't be destroyed from outside but only disintegrate from whithin. How true...
These are significant piece of news with great turmoil for the US economy chaps.
We haven't even had a reaction from the Chineese and WTO as other articles state but we are at the cusp of a new era and it's all doom and gloom.
I'm really glad to see the end of this week a little up and the end of March...
Once again wishing all a great weekend, rest and tranquility...
