Propping Up The Behemoth

By Murray Bourne, 05 Dec 2004

Is the US close to going under? The current spending spree, brought on by inflated house prices, a low-taxing and high-spending president and a crazy world that continues to buy those Treasurys like they are going out of style (which they will, soon), cannot continue indefinitely. As the US$ continues to tumble, will the central banks and private investors of Asia, the Middle East and emerging markets keep investing there? No way - this dollar rout has got a long way to go yet.

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
