Excellent analysis. The US Dollar is over extended. Jiggery Pokery financial laws purchased by campaign donations to congressional representatives by the monied mendacious are the root cause. The US Dollar is in its last days of dominance.

This: "Economist Richard Wolff calls this the terminal phase of capitalism: when elites, no longer able to expand outward, through war, debt, or markets, turn inward and begin cannibalizing their own institutions in a last-ditch effort to maintain control. First you hollow out the economy, replacing productive labor with speculative finance and cheap overseas outsourcing. Then you hollow out democracy, gutting social programs, stacking courts, and turning elections into media spectacles of distraction. Finally, you hollow out the dollar itself, once a global safe haven, by manipulating monetary policy, sabotaging international treaties, and alienating the very investors who held the system together. Instead of sovereignty, we have scorched earth."

What now?
