with the exposure of endless theft, manipulation, spam, spew and vomit on wall street and the federal government who in his right mind would own the dollar at its current price. now that we no longer claim transparency in our markets or our corporate accounting we're worth somewhere between an argentine debt instrument and a thai baht. the dollar itself is a set of crumbling myths. from foreign policy to monetary policy we're THE tin man. if only Dole had been elected. Right name for completing the poetry of big stick, empty rhetoric.

There has been and there is huge brainwash against the Euro and Euroland even in Euroland. Euro-scepticism has had it's show in the political debate for years in Europe. There were/are many fears in Europe with giving up national currencies for a multitude of right and wrong reasons in all countries of the currency union. When these fears were stressed, people were just as receptive to the Dollar-superiority-ideology here as in the US. Euroland is much less "socialistic" than the general impression of it in the US. The perception of European economy as generally inflexible and growth averse is wrong. I think there is room for a re-evaluation.
