Brazilian super model Gisele Bundchen wants euros not dollars

Supermodel Spurns the Dollar
Dollar's Fall Collapses the American Empire; Bring Those 737 Overseas Military Bases Home!


The US dollar is still officially the world's reserve currency, but it cannot purchase the services of Brazilian super model Gisele Bundchen. Gisele required the $30 million she earned during the first half of this year to be paid in euros.

Gisele is not alone in her forecast of the dollar's fate. The First Post (UK) reports that Jim Rogers, a former partner of billionaire George Soros, is selling his home and all possessions in order to convert all his wealth into Chinese yuan.

Meanwhile, American economists continue to preach that offshoring is good for the US economy and that Bush's war spending is keeping the economy going. The practitioners of supply and demand have yet to figure out that the dollar's supply is sinking the dollar's price and along with it American power.

The macho super patriots who support the Bush regime still haven't caught on that US superpower status rests on the dollar being the reserve currency, not on a military unable to occupy Baghdad. If the dollar were not the world currency, the US would have to earn enough foreign currencies to pay for its 737 oversees bases, an impossibility considering America's $800 billion trade deficit.

When the dollar ceases to be the reserve currency, foreigners will cease to finance the US trade and budget deficits, and the American Empire along with its wars will disappear overnight. Perhaps Bush will be able to get a World Bank loan, or maybe one from the "Chavez bank," to bring the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan.

7. Brazilians are used to deal to high inflation. They don't have bank savings

in their own currency because their govoernment keeps printing money like monopoly bills. Instead they buy cars as a form of wealth.
US government still has to print a lot of bills to pay for Iraq war and possible Iran, so she knows dollars will be like toilet paper soon.

My husband and I have all our investments in Euros - helps that he is a British citizen and longtime resident of France.

currency exchange.
