The US dollar being the world’s reserve currency where other central banks have taken comfort for decades, now is fundamentally broke. The world’s reserve currency is now broke because of the accumulated American debt that can no longer be controlled.

These days the politicians elected into government and tasked with responsible policy making, don't have the political will do right thing. They refuse to turn things around, to stop the slow train wreck that's approaching. Some believe this slow train wreck will arrive sometime around 2015. This train has been built upon the tracks of circumstance, with decisions that were created re-actively, thus now it's running out of control…

The government can print money. So why don’t they simply print more and then give it away to everyone? Certainly this would alleviate poverty and stimulate the economy. Within modern economic societies money is used so intensely, that many times people forget what money really is and why we use it.


Why was money invented?

Before money came along, people got what they wanted by trading things between one another so in the end both people would receive what they wanted. Economists call this method of exchange or the barter system. Bartering however was a very inefficient system because you had to seek out someone who had what you wanted…

Sound money should be the only acceptable means of payment or credit used during these insane times when all major countries are fighting to survive with “record setting” government debts. Governments must all revert back to a sound money system to regain fiscal control over their spending habits or face losing everything.

Money – The Beginning
In the distant past, man used bartering and trading as acceptable forms of payment for goods and services. Many items traded included sea shells, salt, tobacco, herd animals, beaded belts, gem stones and gold. This worked well at the time, however there needed to be a better more convenient way to make transactions.
Coins became the first answer to make the exchange of goods and services more convenient. In 600 B.C. the first minted coins appeared, they were minted from an alloy called electrum. This was a combination of gold and silver. Each coin had a specific weight of 4.7 grams and acted as a medium of exchange, division of payment and was also capable of maintaining its value. From the time coins were first minted they gained popularity becoming the best form of money all the way into modern times.

What is Sound Money
In 400 B.C. Aristotle defined what sound money was and what characteristics were necessary to insure sound money. He said that sound money must incorporate all 7 of the following properties…

The rate of inflation in the United States has been steadily rising. The inflationary rate is a major, if not the key fundamental factor in determining the actual value of your money.

I’m here today to share a secret that I exposed, which seems to keep missing out on the nightly news broadcasts. I don’t know why this information has not been at the center of media attention but it should have been in mainstream news several years ago.

For a quite a while now lots of attention has been given in the media regarding the higher costs of living such new state taxes, staple consumer goods, fuel etc. Also for those paying attention you will have seen and heard lot s of information in the news on increasing gold prices. Main stream media has been covering the economy saying all the while it is improving.

However all one needs to do is open their eyes and look to see that many businesses are struggling and shutting down. Is this improvement? We can listen to people telling how they don't have any savings left or money anymore. It’s only obvious the US Economy is getting worse. The value of the US Dollar which has also solely been used as the world’s reserve currency is faltering. Consequently most world currencies are failing along with it. Question: Why is all this happening? What can anyone do?...
