    A Parsi will be the equivalent of 0.87 USD.

    It's funny how Iran calls itself an islamic nation, when inflation itself is against the religion!

    you mean 1 parsi = 10 USD?

    or 10 parsi = 1 USD

    I'm sure the global markets are THIS close to dropping the dollar and making the Parsi the global benchmark currency... ;)

    Well, it looks like Pres. Obama has resolved the debt crisis, for now.
    Iran's economy is a greater risk to implode first, given its current leadership.

    I agree the leadership is much more corrupt/inefficient in Iran than in the United States. However, Iran is not in debt. The US economy runs on credit...while pretty much everything in Iran is done via cash. So, as weird as it sounds, I would actually bet on the US imploding before Iran (at least economically)..politically, is a different matter.

    Which is at the mercy of the China, Japan, Russia, and Brazil who hold the 47% of the U.S. Treasury securities.

    You have completely failed to comprehend the point (and global economics 101).

    It looks like 33% for foreign governments + 13% foreign private investments; the single largest holder is the Fed, so if we default we hurt our selves.

    I think my point, and the point of that graph is: if we default, it hurts EVERYONE. Why? Because we are the rock to which everyone clings in the storm.

    4 Sure; but I think many Americans feel that a default would stick it to the Chinese the most :rolleyes:

    I think Social Security has about 2 Trillion invested on US Securities.
