It's obvious what they are doing. They want to trigger the long-feared "second leg down" of this recession/depression/call it what you want, and they want to do it prior to the next elections, so they can blame it all on the Dems.

They will do it by wrecking confidence in the U.S. recovery, so that China stops purchasing our bonds and our food prices rise, and our exports decrease.

This is no fucking joke. The vital nature of confidence in the US dollar is the worst kept secret in the world, but a=holes like Ryan and Ron Paul are experts at terminating our credibility.

A second leg down would destroy us, our economy, our reputation, and damage the value of the dollar. The irony is that crackpots like Ryan, Paul and Steve Quayle and Gerald Celente will bring it about.

They are smart but they are also trying to kill our economy.
