A reserve currency is supposed to be stable and backed by a country that can be relied upon to fulfill its obligations. Would you trust any other country that is running up debt like the U.S. is today? Would you put your faith in a country lead by the likes of BHO?
Sorry (really, and truly sorry), but the U.S. is doing this to itself.
Please see what I wrote on this thread:
Dear United Nations:
Go f##k yourselves.
If the dollar isn’t good enough, we will gladly stop forcing them on you.
Signed,
America
That’s true...but...if we suddenly stopped giving dollars to the UN, they’d probably change their tune.
