Well, our currency may be the world’s reserve, but I am not
confident in it continuing to be.

I do think the BRICS attempt to replace it is flawed
ultimately. There isn’t a currency that is equal to
the dollar, and what are they going to replace it with?

China’s economy is having major seismic activity. Just
exactly who has the economy large enough to step in?

The plan seems to be to come up with a currency that
will be used in all the nations on board, but with
so many nations ‘in the pot’, how stable will that
be?

We have to get our act together and pay down our debt
now. We’ve waited far too long, but I still believe
it can be done, if we set our mind to it.

The Euro was supposed to challenge the Dollar but that's not happening. Their economy is not as dynamic as ours. Maybe if the Gulf Arabs got together and established a common currency, that would pose a threat to the dollar. But so far, no one is going to remove us from the throne.

We're not going to pay off the debt. We'll just suffer some inflation. The only question is how much?
