I hope, just once, to see a commentary like this where the author demonstrates that he has at least a triple digit IQ by mentioning the following. And note that this does NOT include the fact that the dollar is the wolrds "reserve" currency. Soon to be replaced by some combination of Chinese, Brazil and Russian money. Right after flying pigs ice skate in hell. 1. We have, by far, more and bigger guns than any other country in the world. Combined with the UK and france we spend more than the rest of the world combined. Alone we have more Aircraft carrier battle groups than the rest of the world combined. God only knows why we need that much military. Are we planning on fighting Klingons? 2. We export more food than any other country in the world. You know, you can burn food, but you can not drink oil. 3. As the dollar drops in value, our exports go up. 

4. None of the countries mentioned above were significant players in the international markets. When Germany had inflation, there were hardly any international markets.
