The US economy continues to flaunt history and economics. At 6.4% of GDP (US$58.9bil), US trade deficits
are perilous and significantly exceed those of Rome, Brazil or any Asian country one decade ago.
With the recent decline of the US dollar, there are good reasons to expect its slide to continue. Weak economic numbers triggered the fall of the greenback against slower housing starts, sluggish durable goods orders and lethargic consumer confidence – all point to a correction in the economy.
Iran stops selling oil
in U.S. dollars –reportWith the recent decline of the US dollar, there are good reasons to expect its slide to continue. Weak economic numbers triggered the fall of the greenback against slower housing starts, sluggish durable goods orders and lethargic consumer confidence – all point to a correction in the economy.

warming experienced on Earth over approximately the same period.
Since there is no known life on Mars it suggests rapid changes in planetary climates could be natural
phenomena.
