Geithner: 'Quite Open' to Idea of Global Currency

Back to blog

NATIONALISM ISN'T ALL THAT GREAT

HELLO LAMEBRAINS! YOU CANNOT HAVE A GLOBAL MARKET AND 147 DIFFERENT NATIONALISTIC CURRENCIES AT THE SAME TIME. PICK ONE OR THE OTHER, BUT YOU CANNOT HAVE BOTH.

China

I just got the front page from "Beijing Today", an English-language newspaper from Beijing. It is the first issue for June. On this page, there is a picture of Geithner with his old teacher from Beijing. He was taking a class at the University of Peking in 1981. Gee, weren't the Chinese a rather closed, hard-line Communist country back then? This guy is a communist pure and simple, and he is holding our purse strings. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid. we need to start fighting back immediately.

IMPEACH OBAMA

Obama needs to be impeached today! We can not allow him to take everything our founding fathers created. Ughh, tell me how and I will get started right away!

easy cheesy

how do you get 300 million pathetically unaware, and xenophobic Americans to accept a global currency standard?

You dry their economy up by neglecting their manufacturing base for 15 years and evacuating private capital. Then drive the value of the dollar down by printing ungodly amounts of currency, Then you float the idea of a global standard, which will bring the value of the currency back up to a level that gives them buying power again..

Then you support a Candidate who is very hard to hate, Because there is no way a Clinton or a Republican could get away with this, but looks like a hero when he can shows how he can cut the deficit in half in one fell swoop by implementing the global standard.

Then let them VOTE IT IN.

J in VA, I'm with ya.

We need millions of american s to show up at whatever federal govt building they can afford to get to. I'm going to try to get to the Capitol Building in DC.

Once I get there I'm going to BURN ANYTHING that connects me to the government. I am done with them.

Join me July 4, in DC, the Capitol. Let "we the people" become sovereign again.

world currency

Cant see the Chinese wanting the US dollar to fall significantly - this would be shooting themselves in the foot since they have bought so many treasury bonds

Either we sit back or we take a stand...

When will we stand up and take a stand for America? When will we fight back in a way that will show that we run America not our Goverment? Thomas Jefferson said that a revolution can be a good thing. This is the time to revolt. This is the time to let our voices be heard. I will not allow my country to sink and have my child drown in the debt that is building. This is not a Republican thing, this not a Democratic thing. THIS IS AN AMERICAN THING. I am tired of my money going to bail out these companies. I'm tired of earmarks. I'm tired of lobbyists. I'm tired of the Lies that continue to come out of the mouths of our so-called representatives. I'm tired of our goverment thinking they can fix things when they can't even control themselves. I'm tired of tax cheats that are on the cabinet for the president. I'm tired of hearing excuse after excuse from our President. I'm tired of "Blaming Bush" excuses. I'm tired of the media ignoring Obamas missteps and plunders. I'm am sick and tired of it all. On April 15th...Tea parties are being held around the USA. Take a stand and join do not sit back and watch. Take a stand for yourself, for your fellow American, for our troops who fight for us to have the freedoms that we have. TAKE A STAND...TAKE A STAND...
