    And regardless the socialist policies, they'll stick with failure as they know it anyways.

      Just like how we stick with our crazy deficit spending and raising the debt ceiling when we don't want to deal with the problem

          How bad will the destruction of the Euro hurt the dollar?

          On the one hand, it should re-establish without doubt the dollar as the premier reserve currency............but how till that affect our worldwide competitiveness?

            It will also force a lot if investment capital back to the USD treasuries and so on. This will really push the dollar up in the world scale (in theory anyway) and bring commodities down (you know oil) for us anyway.

            But How long will that last, and how long before we have to deal with our own spending problems and this will only be buying time IMO. How much time. a lot or a little is the only real question here.

              It could be just the boost we need right now.

                No arguments with that at all. It might spur a lot of bounce back in our economy, but I dont think it will be the magic fix all bullet, and will help in the long and short run I think

                  sorry but that will not happen if the euro craters.
                  the euro craters if greece is forced to leave, or chooses to leave the euro. they pretty much don't have any other choice. or if spain needs to be bailed out, which is the current path they're on. there isn't enough $ to bail out spain.
                  the problem is what another greek default means to the european banking system. its pure havoc. another financial crisis on the heels of the USA financial crisis. its throws the world into a nasty deflationary recession/depression which will make the coming USA recession deeper and longer.
                  the 10yr treasury goes to 1% yield and the 30yr to 1.75% as world wide capital seeks a safe haven. we will probably have negative t-bill yields again, that is you pay the US treasury to get your money back. great time to look for a mortgage if you can qualify.

                    Yep, we tried to refinance a few months ago, but got dicked over on our appraisal. "Above average condition home in stable neighborhood" = $10k (about 10%) drop in 2.5 years.

                    It was a problem because we were going to roll the refi in with the loan, and leave our money in savings.

                    We will likely go ahead and do it either in the spring, even if we have to pull the $5k out of savings.

                    I was approved for the refi at 2.75% for 15 years.:???:
