Dan, you understand the CDO' and derivatives are in fact a very fancy ponzi scheme. I stand by my prediction, this one will not destroy our currency but the next one will probably do the trick. Congress will not learn and we will have another financial explosion in 10 to twenty years. I don't believe we will be able to withstand that one.
A few months ago I would have had a different view but the socialists won the election and will add at least 10 Trillion in debt that will have to be monitized. We will not have time to recover from that currency debacle before the next financial problem.

It is a mistake to think businessmen are more immoral than politicians!
Keynes, 1937
