Downsize the Military, Downsize the Dollar? - vanity

The value of our dollar is tied to our own economy. Is our economy also tied to the power of our military?

As our military shrinks to a smaller size, will this have a direct effect upon the value of our dollar?

If so, where will it lead?

It’s not a dollar, its a Federal Reserve Note, which is debased by the FED printing/creating money out of thin air. Recall that the FED has destroyed 98% of the value of its currency since it began operations just over one hundred years ago.

Well, I think Quantitative Easing has a more direct influence on shrinking the dollar, but, with liberals, all of this in interrelated.

The Janet buck as the reserve currency, would not exist without aircraft carriers.

Trillions of dollars of overseas capital are invested in our country because it’s protected by our formidable military.

I’m no economist. I just have this gut feeling that our military’s strength is what’s holding off the dogs of debt.
