Russian President Dimitry Medvedev Releases 2023 Predictions: Oil will Reach $150 per Barrell and US Dollar will Lose Its Status as Global Reserve Currency

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/20...lar-will-lose-status-global-reserve-currency/

If you understand what he is saying, if these two things happen the US economy will crash. Without our reserve currency status the US dollar will drop 50% in value which is what he is saying by oil going to $150. However, with the dollar dropping 50% in value inflation will be at 100% meanwhile we won't be able to sell our debt to any other countries. But not only us, everyone who uses the US dollar as the reserve currency will be in the same boat. Imagine how many people will not be able to afford gas or electricity or heating oil if the price doubles. So in addition to runaway inflation you will have massive layoffs in the west. Not just the US but Europe, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, etc.

Now consider this, your paycheck has just been cut in half. No doubt for 5% maybe even 10% they would not be immediately bankrupt, but for the other 90% of the country they would immediately be bankrupt. Already people are using credit cards to get by. Their credit would immediately be cut off. Cars will be repossessed, everyone will stop eating at restaurants and you will see massive bankruptcies of small businesses.

If you think homelessness and looting is bad now, just wait till this happens.

Now consider this, police, fire, teachers nationwide would be broke. Cut the dollar in half and they will be broke. We aren't talking about felons, or welfare recipients, or people on social security. We are talking about the middle class not being able to afford to heat their house or pay their car payment or even fill the tank with gas.

The Biden administration has a real and effective policy in place to counteract inflation

So why aren't they tauting this?

The plan is simple, bring in cheap labor. The problem is not that fuel costs are too high, no the problem is they are paying workers too much. If you bring in illegals and pay them in cash you don't have to worry about benefits! That is a huge savings.

Americans are wasteful, how many people use your car, just you? If the illegals get a car they'll have six people or more using that car. How many Americans can live in a two bedroom apartment, four? Are you kidding? Illegals can put 16 into that apartment. They bring in two bunk beds per bedroom, that is four people in each bedroom. Then when one shift is sleeping the other shift is working, so eight people can share those four beds.

Why doesn't the Biden administration explain to the American people that they have a solution and are working on it?

Everyone is focusing on "wasteful" government spending. Is it really "wasteful" to pay off those who helped you steal the election? C'mon man!

Why are you complaining about these 5 million + illegal immigrants that have come in? They aren't lawyers or stock brokers, so why are you complaining?

The NY Times published a graph showing the return on Stocks and Bonds for each year since 1871 in the US. In only 3 of those years did people lose money in both stocks and bonds:

1941, 1969 and 2022. But of those three years 2022 saw by far the biggest loss in bonds and also the biggest loss in stocks!

BIDEN ECONOMY: Americans Are Pulling Back on Vacations, Travel and Restaurants to Save Money

1. We are seeing severe worldwide inflation in the cost of gas and food.

2. We are seeing a collapse in the stock markets around the world.

3. People are not running to bonds because they expect interest rates to rise (which causes the value of bonds they have bought to drop).

4. The Fed is raising interest rates and will continue to do so, which in turn is causing central banks around the world to do the same.

5. As a result of rising interest rates mortgage rates have risen dramatically. For example, we sold our house in March. The company that bought it flips houses and the price they paid to us reflected their estimate that they could fix it up and resell for $700k. If you calculate that your buyer puts down 20% the new mortgage rate would cause them to drop the selling price by 200k for the same buyer to buy it.

A. We are seeing a sharp decline in mortgages.

B. We are also seeing a sharp decline in new homes being built. I heard from one builder that the windows he gets now take 18 months to be delivered. If you cannot get some key item it can hold up the entire construction of the house.

6. We are also seeing a sharp decline in car sales. It is a double whammy for them. They are having a hard time getting parts. I bought a car two months ago and it is still not here. When it does get here they tell me the heated seats won't work because they don't have the chip but hope to get it and install it before winter. However, I bought this car before the interest rates spiked. Now financing a car will be a double whammy. Cars will be both harder to get and much more expensive to finance.
When China, Russia, Saudi Arabia and the BRICS come to terms with an oil-for-gold settlement scenario, the USA will instantaneously become bankrupt and thrust into a political and economic crisis that will be the end of the empire.

It never had to happen......but power and greed has ruined the nation.

U.S. will hit its debt limit Thursday, start taking steps to avoid default, Yellen warns Congress

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/01/13/us-...s-to-avoid-default-yellen-warns-congress.html

I know for a fact that the 20 who objected to McCarthy do not want to raise the debt ceiling. What I don't know is if that will matter. If the Democrats all vote to raise the debt ceiling they will only need the RINOs to get it to pass.

There were 209 congressmen who voted against raising the debt ceiling a year ago, so it is very possible they don't have the votes to pass another increase now.

Also I suspect we will see McCarthy with much more of a spine to stand up to Biden.

23 NATIONS DE-DOLLARIZE! Swiss Sells $36.4 billion U.S. Treasuries Replaces Dollar with CNY.


This is what too many don't get, if the US raises the debt limit it impacts the whole world. If the US dollar is the reserve currency a little inflation in the US becomes big inflation in other countries.

We are talking about BRICS nations as well as Switzerland, Japan, the UK, Canada, and 19 Eurozone nations.

Isn't cheap labor the excuse Nancy Pelosi gave for letting south and central American illegals invade?

If it gets bad enough I hope those responsible are held accountable.

This might be the Thursday the banks close and next Monday when they open we will have half our dollars.
So that 20 bucks I left in the bank will only be 10.
