Pax Americana

Why don't you take a look at the Fortune-500 directory and count how many of the world's biggest corporations are USA [USD based] companies. Individual, private companies like Wal-Mart, Exxon-Mobil . . . that have operating revenues exceeding GDPs of many countries.

Or look around where you live and count the number of USA companies doing business in your neighborhood: Starbucks, KFC, McDonald's . . . Google, Microsoft, GE, P&W, HP, Ford, GM. . . .

And you are worried about the long term prognosis of the all mighty U.S. Dollar?

Once upon a time there was "Pax Romana" the Roman Empire. Today it's "Pax Americana," it's today's only super power, financially, militarily, economically, culturally. Until that status changes, [it may someday, but not in our lifetime] . . . the U.S. Dollar rules! Like it or not.
