Not my field, but as I understand it, the current global difficulties are bad for almost everyone — except the United States. We have the dollar. We have the oil. We have political stability. Which all means that we have economic stability. If there is a storm, we are the island.

The only thing I would dispute is American political stability. Trump is doing the right thing in regards to Iran, but at the risk of not being able to complete what he started due to the reality of energy prices and the shadow of the mid term elections .

Sure. America is doing great. And approaching $40 trillion in debt. And no politicians ever talk about reductions in spending or (gasp!) actually having a budget that is adhered to.

Dollar is not stable. Not even close with near 40 trillion in debt.

They claim we have oil yet it keeps going up and up as if we did have the oil should be stable or going down in price.

Political stability....Our Political system is so screwed up reminds me of just before the American Civil War and so it is extremely unstable and hopelessly broken....

More wishful thinking from some folks..

Our political stability is only relative. Our days in the sunshine are numbered.

Our financial stability is even less secure.
