Hi Ken,
it doesn't work that way - if you print more money your economy remains
the same value so the value of the US dollar drops. (that has a familiar
ring to it)
You get one ****pment of oil and then you pay in Euros thereafter. You
produce bugger-all that the world wants so you have no Euros.
The price of oil goes up until demand begins to droop. The oil producing
countries have finally realized that their resources are worth more than
the US wants to pay and that it doesn't matter how much they charge
because we will pay it.
Your invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq has shown your military threat is
next to toothless.
Regards,
Greg.P.
