this line struck a chord with me: Oddly, one of the first countries to begin the switch to the euro was Iraq, which converted roughly $10-billion of its oil revenues in late 2000 into euros just to stick it to the United States. .... in other words, we'll git ya if ya mess with us and we'll git ya good. i'm on my way out to enjoy the sunshine. have a good one rose

I hear radio talk shows all the time which are questioning "why there is not enough money" for education, social programs, etc. etc. They always ask people to call in who work in the particular sector to "really find out" who is taking the money. They keep saying, "where is the money going" and "why is it not enough." They miss the obvious point. Sure there is corruption in most areas, but the fact is, the poor economic policy for the past many years has left the US with a worthless dollar. Statistics show more (in numbers) dollars are being spent on problems and programs, but it is buying less and less. Greenspasm will have the dollar completely worthless before it is done. Who wants a dollar that is only backed by the word of a government and country that is technically bankrupt. Pretty soon, only the military might will be an asset, and you can be assured, humans always revert to and over use their only assets when cornered. I remain, SOROS
