Show notes by Matt Blender.
Max, Stacy of Karmabanque: gold values going up. Dollar value is crashing. The world economy is getting rid of the dollar because it thinks the American economy is going belly up.
The American economy is collapsing. No one will buy bonds in the future. The government will have to buy its own bonds. To do that, the government will have to print more money, which will cause hyperinflation. Hyperinflation has happened in the past with the Weimar Republic.
Iraq= windfall for big business.
Max: America is socialist.
Reverse upward mobility.
Stacy: Shanghai Cooperation Organization is offering Iran, Pakistan and India full memberships. This could remove the US’s threat of economic boycott.

Max: the use of certain words like “democracy,” “patriotism,” and “terrorist” has changed. Why isn’t anyone calling the Exxon people terrorists?
