Oh Fer F@#$ks sake. After WWII we agreed to be the Worlds policeman in return for the world using the U.S. dollar as it's reserve currency for trade. We benefited GREATLY from that agreement. As did the rest of the world. It ushered in one of the greatest and longest lasting episodes of peace and prosperity and trade the world has ever seen. We're not "broke and deteriorating". We're still the largest economy on the planet. You want to see a rearmed Europe? Good luck with that. Good Grief. Turn off right wing radio. |
