"Consider the following:Originally Posted by Tellafriend
The US dollar has been backed by two things since the 1970s: faith and trust that the United States government is good for the money, and it being the currency that oil/petrol was traded in. Now that Saudi Arabia put a stop to the second one this past weekend, the only thing that makes the US dollar worth anything is faith and trust in the most dishonest, indebted, fiscally irresponsible government with allegiances to other nations over their own that this country has ever seen.
If you knew a guy who always gave his paycheck to hookers and drug addicts then whatever money he found he lit on fire, would you trust him with your life savings? The US government is worse than that guy."
