    China are looking to use the IMF special drawing right(sdr) ,I think its a makey up imf currency weighted against a basket of currencies.I think its gun to head time for the US and UK
    A champion of the people emerges with the age-old and appealing promise of "something for nothing" - to be financed through every-increasing taxes. Supply and demand are thrown out of gear - the overhead goes up; the effective use of human energy goes down; the standard of living is lowered because money cannot buy wealth that is not produced.

    Look at Geithner after Bachman asks whether a new currency is planned. Remember he is under oath supposedly.

    Then today he says the opposite at the CFR conference

    Here's a conspiracy theory for ya ,china floods the world currency markets with all them dollars they got stashed away further destabilizing the U.S.A .

    You have hit the nail on the head, thats exactly why they have all the dollars. They well and truely have the USA by the short and curlies. They can sink them on a whim. Obama might be second guessing them. Money we tend to forget is basically nothing, its an idea, and the idea is gonig out of fashion now that it does not suit the yanks. They are never going to repay the level of debt they have, just like the Irish wont. They will write it off and start again.

    Here's the latest on the new world's "super reserve currency".

    The G20 will be very interesting.

    That's not true, the Fed has increased the money supply from anywhere between 8 and 10 trillion Dollars, depending on which report you read. They have completely undermined the Dollar themselves much more than China's reserves could ever do.

    On another point, could a global currency be a type of virtual currency like the ERM prior to the Euro, anyone any thoughts on this?

    At the last G20 there was mumblings about the inconvenience and costs of exchange rates, which sounded like a softening up process.

    It crucially also means that US debt goes through the floor, effectively they no longer need to pay off their massive borrowing.
    Hi Dios.

    Is US debt denominated largely in dollars?

    Otherwise if the dollar goes South their National Debt goes North...
    Mr Gormley described calls for the resignation of his cabinet colleague as "absolute nonsense". He said Mr Lenihan was doing "a very good job under exceptionally difficult circumstances".

    It gets even better. Call them all out and separate the globalists from the Americans. She must get as many co-sponsers as possible

    Yes amazingly they borrow in dollars, so debt burden follows them down. I cannot see the USA wanting a world currency. That and control of oil is the only thing that makes them powerful.
