motocat12 Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Just thinking if Donald pushing for too hard for US leaning deals would lead to countries dropping the US dollar? Of course it doesn't sound like Obama is very smooth with China last week either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strictly Street Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 That threat from overseas isn't new. It's been an on and off thing for years. Most notably from China in 2007. International currency rattling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alienpi Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I think that despite having a shadow gold standard now with some central banks owning some gold, I think we're going to transition back to a regular gold standard where currency is backed by gold at a specific ratio or just use gold as money like the Gold Money Mastercard that transfers gold ownership. Fun fact, Ohio is exempting gold and silver bullion from sales tax on January 1, 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connie14 Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 The bigger threat to the dollar as a reserve currency is the current $20 trillion dollar national debt coupled with the tens of trillions in unfunded liabilities. If these don't get handled, we will see significant future inflation. A balanced budget is nowhere in sight with either of these two clowns.

motocat12 Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Trump bringing back apples 180 billion offshore profits for taxing is not a bad start and slow the losing of US companies to inversions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Yea, the guy who doesn't pay Federal taxes "because that makes him smart" is going to get other companies (and NATO countries apparently) to "pay their fair share" -- how again?

Tonik Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Come on, not paying taxes does make him smart. Especially when you consider Senator Clinton wrote some of that shit, yet she is too stupid to understand how to get around her own laws. Doesn't make him a President, but it makes him at least smarter than Hillary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Hillary (although not the shapes knife in the drawer) is doing OK with her tax mitigation strategies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
