 This idea might not be far fetched. Recently i was in Denver (I am from Holland) and some people there asked me about the Obama medicare laws and how we in Europe/Holland do that. In the talks that followed i suggested Colorado leaving the USA and joining the EU instead. After some laughs most people concluded that it might not be a bad idea after all....

  Originally by: Apurimac I don't know why i'm bothering but here goes...
 
 The dollar isn't going to die anytime soon. The fact that global investors were running to the dollar and treasuries in droves during the banking crisis in '08 is the most solid evidence it is still the worlds reserve currency. One of the biggest reasons it is still the worlds #1 reserve currency is the U.S. has one thing the Europeans severely lack: an effective military. Without U.S. support, NATO would be an even bigger joke than it already is and the ability for Europe to respond to an invasion from say, Russia, would be extremely limited. Hence the euro is not as solid as the dollar from a long term standpoint. The dollar is experiencing pre-recession levels of inflation, but there's still significant deflationary pressure on the dollar because of the weak US economy which is why the fed can print all the money it wants and inflation still stays at about 4% year to year. U.S. banks are swimming in liquidity right now but it hasn't affected prices that much because they are still extremely reluctant to lend.
 
 BTW, isn't the leader of IT Alliance SirMolle? Last i checked he was American, is the weak dollar going to mean you guys are out of a leader?
 
 
 lol the chinese and others have been hoarding dollars and not euros not because EU doesnt have its own army, but because euro is a relatively new project(started 10 years ago), and there still are many uncertainties about its future... for example, will southern european countries cut their deficits so as not to endanger the whole eurozone..
 
 but then again if US deficit continues growing at this rate, nobody will want your newly printed greenbacks. even though euro is a very new currency, it accounts for around 25% of reserves in worlds central banks. now having in mind that the primary goal of ECB is to maintain price stability(the fed cares more about output growth), I can see the chinese and russians switching to euro as a reserve currency.
 
 the dollar wont "die", but its going to get dethroned as a reserve currency of the world really soon if that 1.6tn deficit doesnt start shrinking, and i think it wont shrink in the next decade due to the ongoing wars and USA's new healthcare system.
 
 
  Quote: The fact that global investors were running to the dollar and treasuries in droves during the banking crisis in '08 is the most solid evidence it is still the worlds reserve currency.
 
 
 no this is called flight to liquidity and its in no way an evidence that dollar is going to be strong in future. when lehman brothers went under, a massive selloff in equities started and investors had to put their money somewhere. US treasuries were and still are considered to be the least risky investment.

 I doubt the U.S.D. is going anywhere, now or any time in the near future. How many countrys own U.S. Tresury bonds? China has a massive amout, along the lines of 500 Billion last time I checked. Now, as for the U.S. using the Euro or anthor currency, it will never happen. Hell, we are still the only country using the Dewy Decmial system. Americans (like me) are proud and set in out ways
  . Now, if we could get our lovley socilast  pres out of office who is further dragging us down the tube of debt we would be doin just fine :). 
 Forgot to add-
 How many countrys including Iceland, just about all of Europe, Russia, and god knows how many African countrys recive aid from the U.S.? And just rember, we provide 95% of all troops in U.N. troop deployments and god knows how much we pay of there budget.
 
 
 I think after he is done with the health reform he should do a public school reform too. Looks like you could need it

 My question is...If the dollar dies as my friends are telling me within a year to two years. 1.5 years maybe from my research.
 
 
 Right. What are your academic titles? I need to know it because I can't understand if you are some libertarian economist convinced by Ron Paul, or more likely, someone who watched too much youtube and read too many stupid blogs.
 
 
 It was probably the same friends that told him he needed to buy tech stocks in March 2000 because because you can't go wrong and that he needed to buy a huge house with zero down in March 2006 because it can't go wrong...
 
 This was a good trade a year ago, if you are 'hearing about it from your friends' it is typically too late and you are buying in so someone else can get out...

 Hehe, good to see that the average American still live in an illusionnary world
   
 To the Op, You best option is to go into a currency that is less corrupted by private interrest?
 
 If there is a thing that most american just plain dont know about their currency, its how the FED (federal reserve bank), that is a privatly own bank, slowly take every last bit of ressource they have.
 
 
 Ask an american is they know what is the FED, last survay show 0.8% know it exist, 0.1% know how it work
 
 So yeah , go into an other currency ( canadian dollar is a good idea) or better switch to asset that will provide you with ressource independance (solar panel or windmill for electricity), low gas usage car (the less gas your car drink the less you gonna be affected by recource crisis)

 Odd post. I still think we should just go to war with a few of you Euro's and sell your wealth or lack of wealth. Ya so the US is screwed on banking, cars, public schools and your going to miss goons.... My kids schools cancelled all field trips, after school programs and is asking for us to buy school supplies again even though that is supposed to happen once a year. Thank you all that voted for Obama.... At least with Bush we would be killing off Iran by now. haha
