It's Melting, It's Melting
The Dollar

I had the pleasure of reading a final finished copy of The Dollar Meltdown by Charles Goyette this past week.

Congressman Ron Paul offers an opinion on the front cover to which I certainly concur: "Goyette does a great job explaining why America faces a looming financial crisis and outlines commonsense strategies for individuals to protect themselves and their families. This book truly is a must read."

Before publication, I read a preliminary copy which explains this quote on the back jacket "The Dollar Meltdown is the definitive guide to where we are, how we got here, and what the best investment opportunities are looking ahead, regardless of one's personal views on the raging inflation/deflation debate" ~ Mike "Mish" Shedlock

Others on the back jacket endorsing the book include Jim Rogers, Lew Rockwell, and Peter Schiff.

Step by step Goyette outlines Where we are, How we got here, and What to do. The book is a nice blend of facts, humor, and practicality. It is easy reading and very difficult to put down.

Each chapter begins with a few thought-provoking quotes on which Charles expounds. Here is the kickoff to Chapter 7, How It Comes Down.

"Don’t ask me where we’re going to find the money. I’m going to get it where Paulson found it”. ~ Charles Rangel, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman

Today was Presidents’ Day. Congress commemorated George Washington’s throwing a dollar across the Potomac by throwing $780 billion down a rat hole. ~ Jay Leno, The Tonight Show
