US Dollar could drop by 90% - Page 4 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

The U.S. economy as been bad this past year. It's a big decline.

Whatever happens that is negative will hurt the rest of the world, too. I still don't believe it'll drop 90%, though. Just a bit of warning to everyone...this is an major election year in the US, and I want to warn you to try not to bring politics into the forum. Lately, I've seen a post or two that concern myself and the staff. With past experience on other forums, I know things never end well with political posts, Be careful, gang.

While the panic does exist, this is nothing new. Have to have a resession every 20 years or so. The media does not help with their "alarmist" articles, because they got nothing better to do. Whatever happened to "good reporting" with the Edward R. Murrows, or the Walter Kronkites?

I agree, often times I am saddened not to have grown up in a time when most news porgrams and newscasters had dignity and respect.

Competing with the Internet and other sources of information has led many reporters to think it's "okay" to be alarmist. Anything to pack in the viewers. With all of the old guard gone and broadcast news on the decline it could only get worst in my opinion.

Yeah, that's why I barely ever watch the news, unless something really big or important is happening.

I heard that the U.S. dollar is getting weaker while the Canadian Dollar is getting stronger by time.
