I don't see a wholesale collapse of the US economy. I do think the
dollar will continue to slide until the country elects some Republicans
or Democrats. I am not sure what to call the gang in power now; they
are most certainly NOT Republicans.

I haven't had much luck with a BrightLyt stove on BD - though some
people report it burns BD fine. I think Keith uses an old
"roarer" which you used to see out in the backcountry.
There is a stoves page on JtF.
You could also look at www.woodgas.com - not BD but pretty cool.

If the dollar devaluate, which means that many countries are prepared
to take their losses and give up on US, then your produce will be in
high demand/price situation. Until they give up, the imports will be
very competitive and since many exporters to US are pegged to the US

Anyone who attempts to exert control over the US economy, even if that
control consists of protecting their investments in bonds,

Robert,
I do not think that it is comparable with Brazil. I think that
the depression in the 30s is a more adequate comparison.
This because US is a democracy, educated population and

I do not really understand what you are saying. Who are the enemies?
Who is responsible, if you have to do one or two devaluations, to adjust

Mike,
About your house and mortgage. Your house will go up in value after a
devaluation and your mortgage will go down in value. In this case you
will win, some time after the devaluation, when things improve. It
will improve, because that is the whole purpose of the devaluation

Mike,
Why should you not have any income? Is your job very dependent on
imports to US?
Jobs for local produce, is the same or safer, export is safer than
before. Imports would sell much less and a lot of jobs will be lost.

It is not like US will implode, it can still largely maintain prices
on domestic products. Imports will however effect price levels and
domestic production that use large amounts of energy, will have to
correct pricing. Since US is importing a lot of the energy use and
