    If the dollar continues to fall, and if we lose a AAA debt rating the US Economy will be in a malaise for a very long time, as in a decade or more, and when the US emerges from it, we will see our standard of living a shadow of what it once was.

    Geithner "promising" not to let the debt get out of hand is laughable in the face of the projected budget deficits for the next 5 years. Add in the dollar losing it's "safe haven" status on top of the Quantitive Easing, and inflation will, not might, will run at 5% or 6% or more.
