"If the euro replaces the dollar as the world’s reserve currency — and reports from Russia last week suggest it might "

Like the Russians are the ones who make such decisions.....

[ThanhPhero]

The budget deficit has no bearing on the value of the dollar and the trade deficit is a fiction invented by the out party to harrass the in party in good economic times because in boomtimes the trade deficit, which is a number that measures only one side of the dollar flow, is always present during a booming economy, and even in a bad economy if the rest of the world's economies are worse. The only thing that affects the value of the dollar is how many dollars there in circulattion compared to the demand for those dollars. If they are being created wholesale then the dollar weakens and inflation is the manifestaton.

I don't see this happening. Go anyplace in the world and offer someone a handful of Euros or a handful of American dollars, which one do you suppose they would take?

The US current account deficit now stands at some $600 billion a year and America now needs to attract more than $1.5 billion every day from foreign investors to fund its debts.

The benefits of "free" trade.

Why would anyone have faith in a bunch of Marxist imbeciles in Brussels who dictate the proper size and shape of cucumbers and insist that pigs be given balls to play with?

The EU is the train to socialist ruin and the average European is the unwilling passernger.

Tally ho!
Off to soviet hell we go.

Guess the powers that be will do anything to get "In God We Trust" off of our currency.

If the euro replaces the dollar as the world’s reserve currency — and reports from Russia last week suggest it might — there is likely to be a high price to pay.

Just to be on the safe side, send all of your dollars to me before it's too late.
