And remember, the value of gold can go up and down too.Econo-Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06710293494850428244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12371420.post-81123693321194878962007-02-10T08:03:00.000-05:002007-02-10T08:03:00.000-05:00what about returning to the gold standard?wouldn't...what about returning to the gold standard?wouldn't that be the right thing to do?that would cut off the all u can print theory...Erwin81https://www.blogger.com/profile/01749695402449593931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12371420.post-1165283830782523702006-12-04T20:57:00.000-05:002006-12-04T20:57:00.000-05:00What we export is raw material and manufacturing j...What we export is raw material and manufacturing jobs. <BR/><BR/>On a bunch of products I see "made in ______ from USA components". Like my Axe Shower Gel. The "components are made here then "exported" to Canada, where it is all mixed up, packaged, then sent back to the USA. <BR/><BR/>Low value stuff out, higher value stuff in.The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12371420.post-1165283524839251642006-12-04T20:52:00.000-05:002006-12-04T20:52:00.000-05:00Iggy - Come now, we still export something, don't ...Iggy - Come now, we still export something, don't we? Hmmm, I'll get back to you on that.<BR/><BR/>Fuzz - Yes, this could be good news if you are in debt, if you can maintain your payments with rising interest rates. Econo-Girl has long advised getting loans with fixed rates.Econo-Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06710293494850428244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12371420.post-1165273125872086572006-12-04T17:58:00.000-05:002006-12-04T17:58:00.000-05:00Isn't this suposed to be good if you're in debt ?Isn't this suposed to be good if you're in debt ?Jandi for The Fuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01402291494619157856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12371420.post-1165123469401795492006-12-03T00:24:00.000-05:002006-12-03T00:24:00.000-05:00Exports will go up?

Exporting those does not really help a whole lot, unless you are an executive in a large company. <BR/><BR/>People will buy more domestic goods? WHAT DOMESTIC GOODS?!?!? Hell, even my Axe Shower Gel is made in Canada. The only thing I still buy on a regular basis that is made in America is Samuel Adams Boston Lager and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. <BR/><BR/>As good as beer is, I do not think it can save the economy. <BR/><BR/>OH YEA! I almost forgot. The stuff I put in the cat box for the cats to poop in is also made in America. But I do not think clay can float the economy either. <BR/><BR/>We dug our hole. We choose short term profits over long term stability. So now we will just have to lie in the hole we dug and hope it does not rain. <BR/><BR/>But you probably already know this.The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.com
