Great video on US currency crisis

Here's an excellent and relatively current video on the state of the US dollar.  It includes an interview with Paul Craig Roberts (Reaganite, critic of Iraq war, economist, etc), who quite elegantly makes an analogy to the fall of Rome.  It is a far easier way of looking at this topic than reading economics texts.  Part 1  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54MUm2P1jOU Part 2  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdrNbhdl7uU Enjoy, and a happy Festivus to everyone at the L.Commons
