BUGGER THY NEIGHBOR...

THE BLAME GAME... WHAT GOOD IS IT...WE KNOW THE US HAS BEEN RUNNING A PONZI SCHEME WITH THE DOLLAR FOR DECADES...

WITH THE ENABLERS IN EUROLAND AND ASIA...

THE THING ABOUT AMERICA IS THAT IT'S NOT REALLY A NATIONALITY...IE A GENE POOL...IT'S A STATE...A GOVERNMENT...A PLACE...

EVERYONE CAN JOIN...ANYONE CAN BE AS GOOD AN AMERICAN HAS THE NEXT GUY...THE RECENT FOREIGNER CAN CLAIM TO BE MORE "PATRIOTIC" THAN A MAYFLOWER DECENDENT...AND NO ONE WOULD OBJECT...

AMERICA IS THE "TYPE O" UNIVERSAL DONOR CULTURE... IT'S UNLIKE ANYTHING SINCE ROME...

AMERICA IS A MULTI-CULTURAL STATE BY DEFINITION...NOT BY INVASION...BY OCCUPATION...OR BY ACCIDENT...

THAT'S WHY WE KEEP GIVING AMERICANS THE BENEFIT OF A DOUBT...

AND ALSO BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW THAT WE CAN NEVER BE: CHINESE...FRENCH...ITALIAN...OR JAPANESE...NO MATTER HOW HARD WE TRY...

SO IF NOT AMERICA ...WHO...?

PERHAPS IT'S TIME FOR AN INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY...SORT OF THE EURO ON STEROIDS...

SOMETHING WITHOUT THE PHYSICAL LIMITS OF GOLD...

THERE IS A NOBEL PRIZE WAITING FOR THE PERSON WHO FIGURES THIS OUT....I WOULD CALL IT:

THE GREAT POST-KEYNSIAN GORDIAN KNOT..!

(I'D CALL IT THAT...BUT FORTUNATELY, YOU DON'T HAVE TO..)

"HOW CAN WE KEEP A GLOBAL ECONOMY IN THE POST-DOLLAR WORLD...?"
