If the dollar crashed - can the treasury just reclaim the bailout? Stop and think about this question for a moment. I am not advising we do this or anything - just thinking out loud. Totally hypothetical - just like the doomsday scenario mentioned below. Actually this is a response to the current and growing panic regarding the US debt and it's relation to the strength of the greenback. It's no mystery where the debt came from. It's not school lunches nor is it food stamps (entitlements) as the right wing media insists. It's the multi-trillion dollar corporate welfare that the feds handed over to private investment corporations which is the elephant in the room. So if the government was about to default, declare martial law, the whole works - well in that case perhaps they could admit the bailouts were horribly mismanaged and a disaster. Reclaim the bailout. If that bank or investment house has to close up as a result, well that's bad also, but to me a case of amputation a gangrened limb to save the patient.. Now obviously this would never happen - but my question to YA is - why not? Thank you for exploring this idea with me. http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/tarp-chart.htm

Don't you think that the price of gold has gotten too high? I just compared a chart of the Swiss Franc, a currency that has been very strong against the US dollar, and the price of gold over the past five years. The franc is up 60% while gold is up 180%. As gold demand for jewelry is limited, the only real reason one can justify buying gold is to hedge against the dollar devaluation. Other sources indicate that the dollar has declined by 13% over the past five years. Would you want to buy gold now? Or start selling?

How do you liberals feel about a $650 BILLION dollar deficit that your Marxist President is giving to us? Unless Washington tackles a core problem: rising long-term costs of Social Security and Medicare, the experts see no significant improvement in the deficit picture, and ultimately, the economic picture. Obama has promised to cut the deficit in half by the beginning of 2013. But doing so still leaves the United States with a deficit that year of around $650 billion, which many describe as "off the charts." http://www.reuters.com/article/ObamaEconomy/idUSTRE57N2DM20090824?feedType=RSS&feedName=ObamaEconomy&virtualBrandChannel=10441&pageNumber=2 But but but, er um um er , its Bush's fault right?

is there a limit to US debt and Liabilities ?where will money come from ? Before you answer this question please check wikipedia for historical chart of US debt starting from 1910 2.6 billion to 2014 - 18.350 billion debt increased 7057 times wikipedia not showing nothing beyond 2014 by on average since 2008 debt increased by 1.8 trillion every year so by 2020 we will have about 30 trillion debt by 2020 about 24 million baby boomers will retire (search baby boomer statistics ) will require payments of about half trillion dollars a year not counting Medicare payments which could be in tens of trillions where will money come from ????

Can someone explain to me how tax cuts cost us revenue? Where does this data come from, and how do you figure out exactly how much it costs? http://www.usgovernmentrevenue.com/downchart_gr.php?year=1990_2013&view=1&expand=&units=b&fy=fy12&chart=F0-total&bar=0&stack=1&size=m&title=&state=US&color=c&local=s This graph is in Billions of dollars, as you can see, when Bush was elected, revenue dropped, in 2001 he passed his tax cuts, revenue then climbed at a slightly faster rate than it did during Clinton's eight years up to 2007 where it fell off. From 2002 to 2007 we experienced a dramatic increase in revenue, more so than from 1992 to 2001. During the bush tax cuts revenue increased in five years, 2700b. From 1992 to 2001 revenue increased only 1700b. http://www.usgovernmentrevenue.com/downchart_gr.php?year=1940_2013&view=1&expand=&units=p&fy=fy12&chart=F0-total&bar=0&stack=1&size=m&title=&state=US&color=c&local=s This graph shows percent of GDP, and according to this one, the Bush tax cuts created and increase in revenue not seen since 1950. This to me is like running wal-mart and saying that since we ran a 40% off sale on VCR's and made X amount of money, imagine how much we would have made if we didn't put them on sale. What am I not seeing. Saying that the tax cuts are costing us 400 billion dollars is very dishonest, where does that number come from? If you raise the tax rates, revenue may go up or down and vice versa, so how do you figure the cuts cost us X amount of money? There is NOWAY to determine what the outcome will be.

Do You Consider Inflation a Hidden Tax or Something That "Just Happens"? I consider inflation nothing more than devaluation of my fiat currency and a hidden tax created by the government and the Fed printing more and more money. The cost of goods doesn't go up, the value of the dollar goes down with an increasing money supply. Take an ounce of gold and see what it purchases today and in any year you want in history. An ounce of gold buys about the same stuff now as it did then. So, is "inflation" caused by the Federal Reserve and the government, or something that "just happens"? (Hint: Find a chart of the value of the US Dollar and see what happens. Please note what happens after about 1913)

Since 2007 US Oil "Consumption" has gone "DOWN" by about 219 Million barrels. Shouldn't price of gas be lower? According to an Energy Information Administration (EIA) chart at: http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/steo/pub/gifs/Fig14.gif US petroleum consumption has actually gone "DOWN" but I keep hearing the laws [theories] of "supply and demand" meaning if demand goes up the price goes up, yet the US demand has been going down since 2007 why isn't the price down? It's still about a dollar higher than 2007 -- the recent 10 cent or 30 cent drops from $4+ is not enough, so don't bother pointing this out to me. In 2007 the price was about $2.80 (US Average/gallon) instead demand went down and price went up to over $4+ in 2008 and then has only went down a little $3.80 (Sept. 2008). You can check ALL states gas prices at: http://www.texasgasprices.com/retail_price_chart.aspx The Laws or [theories] of "supply and demand" don't seem to be working. Are government[s] corporation[s] and/or wall street just conning and profiting at the US consumers expense and ignorance? Don't tell me this is just "The Free Market" -- This is NOT a "natural" Free Market at work, but a "Manipulated Market". Even if theoretical increases of extra oil from offshore drilling came into existence I doubt it would lower the price since we effectively have about 219 million "EXTRA" barrels NOT used by consumers since 2007 and obviously that has NOT lowered the cost of gas to BELOW $2.80 which is not actually that low either if you think about it.

Ron Paul's ABC Debate answer on gas prices? Did anyone else find Ron Paul's answer to the question about gias prices during the ABC debate astonishing? If you missed it, he merely quoted a chart in the Wall Street Journal that showed how gas prices in ... the US dollar has gone up 350% in the past 10 years, the Euro has gone up 200% in the past 10 years, Gold has stayed the same in the last ten years. So if our dollar were backed with gold like Ron Paul suggests, then gas prices would have remained the same. I found this astonishing.

Economists, do you think this is an accurate view of the crisis? Contrary to popular sentiment, we have not been in a recession until now. Since 2007, what people thought was a recession, has actually been a long, slow, government subsidized protracted crash. Instead of letting the markets crash themselves a year ago and begin to level off, government meddling has exhausted resources propping up the collapse. The results were recession-like attributes; loss of jobs, less money, contracting GDP. Up until now however, the GDP has still been slightly positive, and unemployment has been under 7%. That is at an end. The recession is here now with a vengeance. However, due to all of the government intervention, the problem is actually now much worse. If we had the crash a year ago, as the markets wanted, those suddenly out of work would have had more money and resources to pull through a recession and even reinvest when the market bottomed. Since the government has been dragging out the crash, we've been investing resources over a year into a decline. Now that the recession has actually begun, due to the long strain on all of us, we don't have the resources, energy, or trust in the system to begin coming out of it for some long time. Some economists are estimating 10-30 years using our own history as a guideline. Also, since we're going into a recession already constrained, that greatly opens the possibility of a depression. Look at history, look at economics. Recessions and depressions come AFTER the crash. This has been nothing more than a protracted crash complete with Friday's "dead cat bounce" (Google it), and the worst is yet to come. If this were a recession it would be good news, because we'd at least know we were on a slow road to the very bottom where the only way to go was back up. But we've only just seen the collapse of the mortgage bubble. Next is the collapse of the credit card bubble which will probably take down most consumer goods with it. Most consumer outlets that offer their own credit cards (which are most consumer outlets these days) will collapse when the loans are defaulted due to the strain on each of us from a government subsidized crash and a new recession. Look at GM. They fell so badly last week not because of their manufacturing arm, but because of GMAC, their financing institution. Sears makes more of their money from their finance department than from selling merchandise, same for Macy's, Home Depot, many large supermarkets, and just about everything else. The credit card bubble will be much worse, because when people are unemployed, foreclosed, and evicted, they will need emergency funds. Most people use their maxed out credit cards for living expenses as well as their emergency fund. Stores providing credit may be shuttered. Banks only slightly touched by the mortgage crisis will suddenly collapse under the credit card crisis. The effects will be compounded by the fact that we'll be kicked when we're down. After that we may even see the collapse of the student loan bubble, the collapse of lending in general, and the collapse of the dollar bubble, which would bring us back to 1970's economic levels (if we're lucky, the 30's if we're unlucky), before Nixon decoupled our dollar from the gold standard, the Dow was at less than a thousand, and before easy credit was aggressively marketed. I say the 1970's because if you look at the DOW chart over time, the majority of growth before the 1980's was on a moderate incline. As the nation switched from a creditor nation to a debtor nation throughout the 1980's, coupled with aggressive marketing of consumer debt by banks now freed from interest rate regulations usury laws after 1978, the Dow begins growing at a much steeper rate. When the HELOC, subprime mortgage, and derivatives market opened in the 90's and gained steam in this decade, the line gets even steeper until it just couldn't hold anymore last year and began a long bear market run that wiped out billions until the Panic this October. By the end of Friday's session, we were back at 1998 levels. Do you think it can go as far down as I've suggested here? What can a nation 10 trillion dollars in debt do to stem the collapse? When they say they will inject capital into the banks, aren't they just printing money in an attempt to inflate the debt away? How long can this broken system of leveraging a future and living beyond your means possibly hold up?

Million Dollar Math question ! Best Answer 10 points !? BEST ANSWE 10 POINTS PROMISE? 1. One cent on the first day, two cents on the second day, and double your salary every day thereafter for the thirty days; or 2. Exactly $1,000,000. (That's one million dollars!) Do up to 7 days. For each day name the pay and the total pay in dollars for the first weeks worth So it would look like this Day 8- Pay for the day 1.28 Total Pay 2.55 Day 9-Pay for the day 2.56 Total Pay 5.11 Day 10-Pay for the day 5.12 Total Pay 10.23 Day 11- Pay for the day 10.24 Total Pay 20.47 Day12-Pay for the day 20.48 Total Pay 40.95 Day 13 Pay for the day 40.96 Total Pay 81.91 Day 14 Pay for the 81.92 Total Pay 163.83 So what would you make a little more the second week, at least its over $100. But there's still a big difference between $163.83 and $1,000,000. Want about the 3rd week. Do day 15 to 30, So it would look like Day 15- Pay for the day and then Total Pay in dollars Then answer Questions: 1.What is the final amount you would receive at the end of the 30th day?_________________ 2.Could we also calculate our Total Pay without starting at the first day and calculating all the way up to it. We can if we can figure out a formula. We could then just plug 30 into the formula, and it could tell us how much we'd receive for all thirty days. Let's give it a try. Look at the chart for the first week again, and this time look at the Total Pay column. Check the column again for a pattern. Hmmm. The numbers aren't powers of 2 this time - but they seem to be one less than powers of 2. Please determine the formula for this exponential function, ________________________________________________ 3.(2 EC points) Please graph this relationship between days and dollars. You can use your TI- 83

price VS value? This question is based off of Robert Kiyosaki's latest article http://finance.yahoo.com/expert/article/richricher/26878 This particular article I am very impressed with, as it has a good point about price versus value. Just because the price is going higher, doesn't mean at all that it's any more valuable. It may be more valuable, or it could be the same, or maybe it's even less valuable, although the price continues to soar. How does someone go about examining the value of things? Every chart I find on the internet is all based off of price in US dollars, which doesn't really mean anything, since our dollars are not at a set price, and the value of the dollar can fluctuate up or down without any limits. How can one determine the value of things, rather than the price?

ESL - Expression in Financial news.?-Please help me proofread my expression? Please be noticed that the value of NT dollars is getting valuable due to the depreciated value of US dollars recently, which means we are suffering from the high cost of materials and exporting machines to foreign. In fact, not only NT dollars is getting valuable recently, but also there has been a trend in which numerous common currencies (eg. Yan, and Australian dollars) against the US dollars are getting valuable recently. Below chart shows the values of numerous common currencies has been increasing since last August in 2007. The determining factor to affect the value of US dollars is the increased value of Euro dollars. The value of Euro dollars against US dollars is getting stronger recently. This is why the US dollars are getting depreciated. Therefore, we are planning to provide the quotation based on the Euro currency instead of US dollars in order to minimize the impact of depreciated US dollars and avoid losing profits.
