The U.S. dollar is worth.....$1 Bob.
Our monetary system is backed by nothing. We have been off the gold standard for quite sometime, so if shit hits the fan in a global economy and people are looking after numero uno...game over, thank you for playing.
It is a promise that a piece of paper is worth something, but we print at will, borrow from wherever, and let every minute of our lives be dedicated to saving up this technically worthless bill.
You used to be able to trade money for gold or silver...now you can`t. Unless you are running one of those "Cash 4 Gold" huts. Why do you think these little toad-hole businesses have been popping up all over the place? Trade in your engagement ring for less than 15% of what you paid for it, and then it`s melted down into a chunk of profit that will always be valuable, no matter what happens with government, international relations...anything.
This just looks like a house of paper (not cards) ready to fall at some point.
