What other currency should be the world currency , none... Everyone wanted Japan in the 80's but they went by the wayside... The Euro came along and it did not meet the metal either... The Chinese everyone thought maybe until they realized they are evil... We got Switz franc but its to small of a nation...

The Euro has lost a third of it's value that along with inflation must be getting tough in the EU ... Your Central bank needs to raise interest rates to stop the capital flight from the EU... As interest rate goes up the economy will slow...
you don't say
I have notice people in Europe really do not like our dollar being the world currency... I want to point out we have made every debt payment as a nation... Few or no other nations can say the same... The Republicans have tried to threaten out credit standing more than once...
doesn't change the fact that you kinda 'forcefully' export your deficit - the last dude who wanted to sell oil for anything but $$$ got a visit by norman schwartzkopff and a few of his buddies (there's a conspiracy about that to be had out there in the worlwide web)

how about a real mix? why do you need that particular big stick when you already got the one with the protruding nails?
