Think about that for a second.. what you just stated. When you really ponder it you begin to realize how far left field it is. The outcry is due the the fall of the dollar versus the euro (which has been recovering ground lately) China has reacted in the sense that they want a global currency but does anyone realize what it would take to implement that?

Again its something else for people to use as a roadblock to their own success, everything that is going on now is nothing new and conditions have been worse. By all means if it is more beneficial to worry about things that never change and there is relatively little direct control then do so, personally I just think as individuals and as a country we gain more when we maximize the opportunities that are available.
