This why you are feeling the pain at the pumps. The oil sellers are moving away from US dollars and want Euro's instead. We need to get our fiscal policies in order so that our currency is strong again.

Sorry for the long winded remark, but I work in the financial services sector of our economy and right now the credit markets and large amount of governmental debt is crushing our economy.

Hope they get things fixed quickly.

It's not abstract thinking, it has already happened once. When it happens the country will change. How we operate and how we deport ourselves at home and abroad will change. I think it's overdue, we've allowed ourselves to be sold off by big business and unending marketing BS to the point we're a laughing stock on the world stage. We can't even handle a hurricane hitting our own coastline much less instructing other countries about their own internal affairs. We are no longer able to be the worlds police force. IF we just parked the corvettes and other cars and trucks and said NO, a lot of crap would hit the fan at one time. Whether it would be beneficial or not is up in the air!
