[quote=Nor-LA-SD-guy]Well one good thing maybe we can stop being the worlds policemen and biggest money supply to needy nations etc…

Then we can sit back and make fun of whom ever takes our place as they go around the world getting scre##wed.[/quote]

If we are not center of the world, value of $$$ would plummett. And that means we can’t buy oil with $$$. Value of $$$ is artificially high because we are the center of the world (I hope). Are we ready to pay more $$$ for less oil?

And we can’t expect China/Brazil to act on the world stage with restraint (if they are center of the world), like USA has been (believe it or not).

It may seem like we are getting screwed being world’s policemen, but I think we screw others in return and actually end up positive. IMHO
