The world is filled with too many US Dollars until periodically there's a shortage of US Dollars, then the problem is the reverse. No matter where I were running a business, I'd borrow money in the local currency. Taking on the risk of another currency makes no sense.

Today's CEO's are mostly stooges that couldn't run a corner lemonade stand unless mommy held their hand 1. Most businesses in the economy generate steady profits and can service their debts fine. Then suddenly, without warning, conditions change, and the bulk of businesses begin posting huge losses and can’t pay their creditors. The tax cut and non payment of taxes is all corporations have had since 08 if not longer. 2. How did all these astute business men, MBA graduates, and ‘professional’ forecasters make such huge errors together. And – most importantly – why did it all suddenly happen at this particular time? The tax cut and non payment of taxes along with stock buybacks....i.e listening to WS con artists as this is how a company enhances stock price rather than corporate profits.....i.e, neoliberalism and capitalism failed big time. 3. Why do the capital goods industries – raw materials, construction, etc – fluctuate much more wildly than the consumer goods industries? During recessions you see home construction firms belly up, but places like GAP and Hollister survive.
