[quote=martink110]Maybe the dollar losing reserve currency will be blessing. It will be cheaper to manufactor and export American goods. It will be too expensive to import goods, we’ll have to make them here. The US can let whatever the new reserve currency is pay for the United Nations and NATO and world hunger relief and all the other crap we pay for and we can remove our armies from Gemany and Japan. (Russia and China would love that) Lot’s more Americans at home, having to buy stuff – America will have to restart industrial manufacturing again! yeah![/quote]

Martin, I’m with you. This is going to be very painful, but it will work out best for everyone concerned – the rest of the world and us – in the end. The pressure of being a super power is too great to bear. Time to step down and let someone else carry that load and that debt. Ugh.
