As we in the U.S. start our long journey back to an oil-less society our values, and hence our demand for material things is lessening. As with Thoreau, on Walden Pond, self-sufficiency will become highly valued over the current, commercial stoked fellatio of buy, buy , buy! and we will return to a post-Bush/McCain era of moral, educational and democratic values where saving for something will make sense, because the world has caught on, and the era of the sick notion that a fiat monetary system is appropriate for this truly great and powerful country is over! The Arabs learned, with this last round of deflating the dollar by ‘presidential decree’, as have the Chinese, and our greatest debtor, the Japanese, that our money, as it is, isn’t worth the paper it is written on and can be screwed with by presidential whimsy! The convulsive changes ahead will provoke paradigm change in the very soul of each North American, and we will start again, wiser, and chaste in the ways of the world and filled with shame that Bush has brought on us with his monetary tomfoolery. After the crash, If we are lucky, and pay in Euros, up front, the Chinese, Japanese and the Arabs will do a small scale business with us – no credit, cash, in Euros, on the barrel-head, if we are lucky! Flint will suffer the crash of Fanny and Mac by the terrible effect that printing money, Bush style, has; devaluation, or dilution of the dollar and the natural inflation in prices that follows. The price of gas will go up and so will the price of everything else. We will all contribute to the huge overpayment of salaries and benefits to the Bushian neo-con uber-rich executive class that ran these companies into the ground as they are rewarded for it with huge payoffs! The collapse of the Soviet Union was kinder to its people than this! Disgusting.
