Of course this looks like someone's hustle.
 
Too bad our government leaders make this all look so likely though. Government should instill confidence and not inspire mistrust.
 
Who would really believe the government would go after peoples retirement savings. Except that the greed that ever growing government has exhibited already makes one wonder whether there are any assets anywhere that it won't try to pilfer eventually.

I have read some of this book. The author asserts that all nations of all political systems are necessarily capitalistic because they all have in common that they utilize capital. Who it is within a country who controls the means of production might vary but someone does in every country and so he says that makes them all capitalist.

CJH    $6 Gas? Could Happen if Dollar Keeps Getting Weaker   4/25/2011 1:55:32 PM
Considering that Obama is in 2012 campaign mode, look for some gimicky moves to temporarily reverse this trend. It will be interesting to see how he does it.

$6 Gas? Could Happen if Dollar Keeps Getting Weaker
 
"All we have to have is a couple badly placed hurricanes which could constrain some of the refinery output capacity in some key locations," says Richard Hastings, strategist at Global Hunter Securities in Charlotte, N.C. 'If you get weakness in the dollar concurrent with the strong driving season concurrent with the impact of one or two hurricanes in the wrong place, prices could go up in a quasi-exponential manner.'
 
Using a model that combines 'subtle rates of change' with movements in the dollar index [.DXY  74.04  http://media.cnbc.com/i/CNBC/CNBC_Images/componentbacks/watchlist_down.gif" alt="" />  -0.08  (-0.1%)   http://media.cnbc.com/i/CNBC/CNBC_Images/backgrounds/realtime_icon.gif" alt="" />] and commodity prices, Hastings figures the low dollar is responsible for about one-third, or $1.31, of the total gas-at-the-pump cost. Regular unleaded Wednesday was $3.84 a gallon nationwide, according to AAA."

"The SGS Financial-Weighted Dollar Index reflects a composite value of the foreign-exchange-weighted U.S. dollar, weighted by the proportionate trading volume of the USD versus the six highest volume currencies: EUR, JPY, GBP, CHF, AUD, CAD. The FRB Trade-Weighted Dollar is the Major Currency Index published by the Federal Reserve, with the USD weighted by respective merchandise trade volume against the same currencies."
