And what's even scarier is that our Federal Government is running the entire country the same way these cities have been run. How much longer can the Fed keep printing money before the U.S dollar is worthless. The whole system is broken. Things need to go back to the way our founding father's laid out. Have the Federal government deal with military and foreign concerns and let the states run themselves. Stop regulating, policing, and spying on your own citizens. But I fear it's too late and whether we like it or not we are no longer a democracy and are crossing the line into a solicialistic state run by corporations.

End Rant and sorry for bouncing around on my train of thoughts.

To address this last point, money holds its integrity both in confidence as a store of value and as a medium of exchange. The breadth to which the US dollar is used, worldwide, means that our government has a much longer leash in regards to money-printing, as the base of demand for the US dollar, for mere everyday use and not as a moneymaking arbitrage tool, is vast.
