Quote:So what is the solution exactly? I am not going to lie I do not understand this situation you two are talking about. How countries use our currency and not theirs and other than the perceived value of an individual currency which, unless I am mistaken, revolves mostly around it's own economy, why it even matters. China and Russian will do what they want and it's not with us. It's not like you can force them to do whatever it is you guys are saying should be done in what seems to be a purely immaterial matter (as in what kind of fight can you have over something that doesn't exist).

 

I probably just don't understand this at all.  :yes:

Ok in short the world has an international currency.  Currently it is the US dollar which btw allows our country to borrow so much money from China.  If and when the USA defaults on those loans, or when our debt ratio is so far out of balance the world will look to a new standard to trade in.  When that happens the US dollar will be worthless on the international market, and when that happens our current standard of living will be turned on its head.
