See, the problem with being all anti-US is that your bile distorts your view of the world, and you miss opportunities because of it. Saying the US is going to be a third world currency is just plain stupid - the world economy is just to interconnected for that to happen. Will it happen 50, 100 years from now? Who can say? But we'll all be long gone before that cataclysm.
The same chicken littles (like zdreg, for instance) who were frothing at the mouth in 2004 when the euro hit 1.36, calling for the fall of Rome, are the ones coming out of the woodwork again. Also the ones you never heard one peep from in the balance of the last two years.
The really funny thing is when the euro hit 1.36, half of the US had no idea - and still don't that it ever did. No one's life there was affected.
The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
