As predicted, the U.S. came to an agreement to temporarily deal with the shutdown… For 90 days. The market is not pleased, the Chinese are not pleased, and the Japanese are not pleased. They are the two largest bond holders of U.S. debt. They both issued warnings so they are now on record.
China continues to acquire gold to back its international transactions as it sets up partnerships with other countries, bypassing the Dollar. At some point, the Dollar will no longer be the world reserve currency and the Washington beltway will be looked at as the culprit. Everyone will point fingers and no one will accept responsibility for the loss of global power. It will nonetheless take place. The entitlement and arrogance will evaporate into history. Only a major shift in the belief system of the populace would change the present course. Our Heavenly Father has the means to cause this shift but it would be accompanied by a corrective judgment equivalent to the current state of lawlessness. Buckle up!
