As I am often out of the country, I may not be up to snuff with all the facts and stats.

Will you be so good as to provide me with your source(s) of info, and/or proofs regarding the veracity of your statements.

It was true the C$ was worth more than the greenback some time in the mid 1960s. But, if I am not mistaken, it was mutually contrived by both sides to be that way for the benefit of the USA deeply involved in the Vietnam War.

Did you know that a time was when many American tourists suddenly found their greenbacks were worthless in Europe some time in the late 1960s and early 1970s. I regret I don't recall the exact year? And then Nixon was forced to delink the greenback from gold and begin wholesale swindles worldwide?

Do you realize that the US is living on borrowed time because it is the world's greatest debtor. Folks like you should be introspective as well ---- perhaps more so than others elsewhere?
