3 budget woes bigger than the debt ceiling
The author said it well regarding the US government finances,"there is no good way for things to end".
It is all out of control and it will not stop until the financial melt down occurs. Most everyone, wants it to be that way, government employees, government leaders, unions, employees, big banks and big business (who love the big government assistance) and then there is over 50% of the population which gets paid by the government does not want things to change either. I agree, why change things now. It creates bit of pain now. So....humans although smart will continue in the historical path of self destruction.

Jim Rogers: The dollar is set to rally now... but it's a "total disaster" in the long term
| Jim Rogers: The dollar is set to rally now... but it's a "total disaster" in the long term | |||
Text Size:   From Bloomberg: The U.S. dollar is going to be a "total disaster" in the long term because of the country's position as the world's largest debtor and the policies being pursued by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, according to investor Jim Rogers. The Chinese yuan is likely to be a "safe" currency, although it is difficult for investors to buy, Rogers, the chairman of Rogers Holdings, told a conference in Edinburgh. "The situation is getting worse and I expect to see severe problems in the U.S.," Rogers said today. "Dr Bernanke doesn't understand economics, he doesn't understand finance, he only understands printing money and we can't quadruple the amount of money in the next slowdown." U.S. government debt is currently 93 percent of gross domestic product compared with 60 percent before the financial crisis and is set to rise further in the next few years. The dollar has fallen over the past year against every currency in a basket of 16 major currencies. The euro has gained about 7 percent against the dollar this year. It traded at $1.4311 as of 3:20 p.m. in London. "I expect to see more currency turmoil maybe this fall, and more turmoil by 2013," said Rogers, who favors currencies and commodities. Rogers said he is currently buying the dollar because the market consensus is for the currency to fall. Rogers said he is "short" emerging markets, except for China, and U.S. technology stocks as a hedge against his other positions. "Bonds in the U.S. have been in a bull market for 30 years," said Rogers. "In my view that's coming to an end." Rogers is only buying government securities now because 95 percent of the market expects them to decline, he said. Rogers said he couldn't forecast when the bull market in commodities will end. "I know the signs to look for," he said. "I hope I am smart enough to recognize them." "Great fortunes" will be made in agriculture and alternative energies, such as solar power and wind, over the coming years, Rogers said.

Taxing Private Pension Plans
Ireland starting new way of raising taxes.....taxing private pensions.
That is just another central planner idea, that the government can invest / create jobs through taxation which will start the economy running again. Hey....it is the government that is the problem. They run up huge credit card bill on current consumption. No value added process.

DOWNSIDE TARGETS FOR SILVER |
The silver market seems pretty over heated and seems like it should be long over due for a correction. However, I am not selling my little bit of silver. I do hope to be buying lot more below $40. However, that said, I could be regretting that, for it could run higher. I have been waiting for the correction since about $27 to load up.

U.S. sole triple-A country with negative outlook
I'm not surprised that the US got downgraded. I am surprised that there are 16 countries better than the US!
US is sitting at the bottom of the barrel, but the government there has not figured things out.
Bet ya, that US will get downgraded before getting any upward revision.

Obama Will Lose in 2012 - SO WHAT!
He has some very good points....but I say so what!
Why....like the author stated... people will elect with their wallets ....therefore, they will not elect any one that will fix the problem. People want to hear what they want to hear....everything is ok. People do not want to hear that the system is broken and there is less government spending. Look at the news...riots are already starting. It is time for change.....just what was promised! Change will happen, but not what the people want, but it will be what they will get, cause the people where not ready to pay for what is important and lost what they had.
History repeating itself....
