I've never really looked at things this way. Wow, it's scare.
So the dollar is not backed up by confidence in the American consumer? Isn't that what we were taught in school? Man, I think I am confused, and I need to watch this again.
Well, I have to say that I do feel a little more informed, but now I am wondering if I should go and get my money out of the bank now. Hell, even if I do, it probably cannot be worth much.
