Or they get away with having no only the dollar as the worlds main currency but others also.
That is what China wants to prop their currency along side the dollar.
We have to understand that China is buying vast amounts of natural resources the only reason they are doing that is to be able to have material wealth to back their currency.
The way the US used to do back in the days with the gold now all US have to back its currency is the good will of the American people.

The easiest way out of this is the one they will take and that's war. Not a little bombing like Iraq but a big war like China/Russia.
After the war is over you sign a peace treaty that also happens to ratify all debts owed and clears our books.

I do know it isn't good, but in basic nut and bolts, how will the average american be affected?

Your logic is flawed my friend.
What currency does the world have faith in then?
The manipulated Yuan as well? Or perhaps the EURO? Since most countries that support it are in far worse shape than us.
And pulling all the money out of the bank and putting it into gold is honestly ridiculous. Good luck tying all your money to a commodity that has violent price moves and is at a historically high price.
Sorry, but that is terrible advice IMO.

Buy gold for your dollars, the price may seem high now, but when the dollar collapses, it will surge, thus protecting your "wealth"

Bankers and politicians from any shore are not to be trusted,
but the ruse is this, the world is tired of US hegemony and
they are ready to be the ones pulling the strings.
A few of them have banded together and are making things
happen to move in that direction.
All empires fall, and the US empire of 700+ bases in 130+ countries
is starting to fade into the history of what was the formerly late great USA.
I cover some of the factors that are being leveraged to bring this
all to a coordinated crisis in the next several weeks in my prior post.

And remember China needs us a lot more than we need them at this current point in the game.

You are incorrect in the fact that if they were fake they would be in trouble.
It is not a law in that country.
I posted a link to the WSJ in a separate thread confirming this.

No, I am correct my friend. I promise, I dont have the time right now to go link it, but if you look through the threads I started (only a few) you will see the link there.
You will have to explain the derivatives bubble as well. What derivatives are we talking about?
The fact is (and this is all IMO) that we are turning the corner (or did a couple months ago) and you will be suprised 6-18 months down the line we are in just as good if not better shape than we have ever been in this country. The market is telling us things are turning, and you can expect this to happen on "main st." again anywhere from 6-18 months down the line.
