We're screwed anyway. The Democrats will eventually cave to Republican demands for massive cuts, in which case WE LOSE ANYWAY. The poor go hungry, the elderly lose their healthcare, and children lose their educations. Oh, and the Republicans score a win, shoring up support from their teabagger base and guaranteeing that they get to stick around for another election cycle.

Let the dollar fall, and the corporations will scream bloody murder. The Republicans will backpedal so fast you'll think they're running in the Amgen. The American people, when gas prices double overnight, will all but stage a rebellion. People will get pretty pissed off when they can't afford to drive to work anymore. The Republicans will end up looking like idiots who put political grandstanding above the well being of the American people. The teabagger political philosophy will be blasted in all political circles.

And you're worried about savings accounts?
