No. Dollar plunged is not inflation. Yes, it buy less against other currency.

But when all the fiat currencies race to the bottom, then even the "strongest" of all fiat is inflationary.

Let the fall begin. Hope you don't have your retirement tied up in the market or a 401 K. Kiss it good-bye if you we default.

Thanks so much Tearublicans! You're doin' a good job, brownie.
You do realize all that marxist class warfare crap largely falls on dead ears outside your little group of true believers donja'?

He is dealing with this nations debt problem. He's trying to starve the federal government of funds. We need a functioning economy not an all powerful central government that constantly intrudes into the lives of it's citizens. Big government isn't the solution, it's the problem.

You do know how taxes work???

If they use the jet for business, it is all a write off.

And it is Obama's fault. I'm sure you followed it up with a celebratory toast?

The fact that the jets even entered the discussion shows that Obama isn't serious about any real change. The jet loophole might bring 3 billion over ten years.
