At the top of the thread, you said: "Our wealth in America is only because we are the reserve currency." This was the point I was disagreeing with. You are now saying something different. That's fine. I think there is some truth to what you are saying now, though personally I don't think the situation is as dire as you seem to. The UK used to rule of the world. It doesn't anymore. It's still a fine place to live.
