He doesn't fit in with the "Let's Continue the Monetary Expansion Group" that Obama has surrounded himself with. The Fed monetized some more debt today and everyone just yawned. Who cares? It's all going to me just fine as our leaders have told us. LOL Who needs him? There’s no inflation now or for the foreseeable future!!

Volcker is about taking the pain now and moving forward with a clean slate. Obama, like most politicians, wants to push problems off into the future, even if it makes the problems a lot worse in the end. No surprise here.

In the short term the argument that there is too much global debt denominated in USD's makes the most sense imo. Maybe when the majority of that credit is wiped out then sure :) Long term I do not doubt that the USD stands a good chance of losing reserve status.

But we dont know where weve been
And we know what were knowin
But we cant say what weve seen
And were not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

Were on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin that ride to nowhere
Well take that ride
