The RedbirdTx Money Status system is a "proprietary" mathematical relationship of economic and other data. It is different from anything ever assembled. The INDICATOR NUMBER factors in the value of the dollar with other hidden factors such as inflation, transportation, manufacturing, and retailing. The outcome or single number represents how "money" for Americans is changing in the "world's" economy. THE SYSTEM IS LIKE AN "ECONOMIC" CLOCK. (Bookmark the page to check the long term changing money status reflected by the "true" value of money.)

What does the NUMBER mean?
The number tracks the "real value" of money in the complex world economy. (It is what your money will buy today as opposed to September 21, 2008.)
The "Money Equivalent" is based on a dollar. For example: .90 indicates that the dollar will buy only ninety cents worth of merchandise from what it would buy on September 21, 2008.
The HISTORICAL RECORD shows how current policies are performing in maintaining the value of your money. This is a LONG TERM averaging indicator and not subject to day to day fluctuations like the stock market.
Comment Section:
The "value of money" on January 1, 2009 decreased from the previous report. The Federal Deficit is increasing rapidly. The government is lowering interest rates making money less valuable. The decrease will continue as additional bailouts are paid and interest rates continue to drop. If the price of oil starts to rise the value of your money will decrease even faster.
Government economists say the only way to get out of the current recession is to spend and print more money. However, spending more money increases your personal debt and leads to more government spending and bailouts. They are wrong! Just let the economic system shake out on its own and it will actually recover quicker and be stronger in the long run. "You can bail a boat but until you fix the leak it will continue to get worse." The leak in this case is our personal and national debt.
If you have "Money", you are now in a worse position than on 9/21/08. Your money is worth less, however you are in a better position to bargain hunt as the economy gets worse.
The most important cause of the loss of money/wealth occurs because the government is borrowing and loaning money recklessly. There is no end in sight as to how high the National Debt will go. Foreign countries and citizens at some point will realize the government cannot or will not take serious actions to decrease the National Debt. When they stop buying our securities or notes, we will then have a resession of mammoth proportions. It is not a matter of if it will happen, but when the debt will sink us. No entity can increase borrowing forever! Even worse is a government that just prints more money and puts it into circulation with nothing to back it up.
Every bailout, economic stimilus, tax exemption, tax decrease, or increase in federal funding weakens the value of the dollar and our economy in general. The way to reverse and slow the decline of the dollar on a "long term" basis is to significantly decrease federal spending and apply a portion of federal taxes to reduce the debt until a correction takes place. Taking this medicine over a number of years is a lot better than the major depression which awaits us if we don't act to reduce the National Debt.
This system will be updated monthly (minimum). Additional updates around the 15th of each month will be reported until the economic system stabilizes.
RedbirdTx's Prediction (Economic Clock):
RedbirdTX estimates the money system will fail at (-400) because no one will be buying government securities/notes, confidence will be lost worldwide in our money, and inflation will be out of control due to excessive printing of money with nothing to back it up.
