I tell you what -- unlike World War 3, the next terror attack, or other topics where WE HAVE NO IDEA of the timing, economics is different.
The dollar is dying a very painful death. Right now it's in its death throes. It's artificially pumped up because everyone is fleeing to the so-called "security" of US government T-bills. Normally those are very safe, but not now.
The recent so-called "rise" in the dollar is not only fake, it was VERY rapid and its descent will be just as rapid, if not more so. There is no fundamental reason for the recent rise in the US Dollar's value.
The bail-outs have already reached the multiple-trillion mark, and the line for bail-outs is still quite long. Soon various states and cities are going to need gov't assistance as well.
That means the dollar is going to be diluted down to nothing -- resulting in hyper-inflation like Zimbabwe or Weimar Germany (google either topic).
What "They" will do once we have a worthless dollar is speculation. The Amero? Maybe. A one world currency? Maybe. A chip/mark of the beast? Maybe. God only knows.
