I understand where you are coming from, but this isn’t fait in Obama. It’s faith in a dollar he has done his best to destroy and wasn’t able to.
The question I have always asked, is where do you go to do better than the U. S. Dollar? The answer is, there isn’t anywhere else to go.
Russia’s currency? LOL
China’s, always subject to Communist Party whims? LOL
The Euro? LOL, it’s not doing so hot.
If we get a decent guy in in 2016, we could turn things around and start paying down our debt rather rapidly.
If we went after welfare and put an end to most of it, we could have that debt down at least 5 trillion lower in the two terms.
If we put our people back to work, something Obama and company refuse to do, imagine the increased receipts at the federal government level.
We’re talking massive increases in funds.
I don’t have any faith in Obama, we except to continue to screw up.
Keep a closer look at the whole euro thing; it was designed to fail so that something else would either replace it or it gets fundamentally changed into something else.
To be sure, Obama is not playing things to the advantage of the dollar. Not to mention that the militaries of Russia and China are still growing while the USA’s military is not; and although the EU’s attempts at a unified military continue to be false starts, the potential for a ridiculously powerful one is still there if they suddenly unite them.
PS. Faith in the dollar itself is futile. It is not a divine currency; making it into one is Mammonizing it. Only God can protect the dollar.
