Stand by, the European Union and the Euro will, before 2020, become the reserve currency of the trading world replacing the U.S. dollar. Our trade policies, like our military and immigration policies of the last 5 years, have become inefficient because they have been abused for the short-term benefit of friends of this administration. As countries with the Euro buy more of our debt while they effectuate efficient domestic healthcare, farm subsidies,taxing, transportation,economic/competition, banking, credit and investment policies, we, contrariwise, continue to debase each of the above with economics that are premised on the next quarter's balance sheet rather than what is the plan over the following several years.

Software aside, the genius of what we pejoratively refer to as ''old Europe'' will eat our economic lunch.

Ya think? What about China and India. China is now one of our largest creditors.

Thank you for that series of nested opinions. I'll try to respond with a straight face.

Well, no I can't. You shot yourself in the foot (rhetorically) when you exposed your worship at the oxymoron, "while they effectuate efficient domestic healthcare, farm subsidies,taxing, transportation...

aka Socialism

Why don't we wait and see, rather than start a whizzing contest.
My money is on the less government-encumbered system and which that will be remains to be seen.

By the way, if the U.S. economy is dying "because they have been abused for the short-term benefit of friends of this administration., a most puerile assertion, but I digress. How are these friends of the administration going to enjoy their long term profits? Move to Europe?
