Reply #2: I agree unions are a good thing... from the outset... [View All]

[The Doctor.]

Unfortunately the US dollar is about to lose it's place as the world's reserve currency. (Did you notice the decline... or do you frequent 'closed' communities?)

Unfortunately we have to rescue the dollar from the abyss by invading countries who threaten it's sovereignty.

Saddam made the mistake of setting up contracts in Euros contingent on the lifting of sanctions - We couldn't allow that, so we invaded.

What was our other choice?

To tell Americans to stop driving SUVs, to levy huge tariffs on imports (imagine tripling prices at Wal-Mart), and to tell unions that they no longer could leverage against companies...

Political suicide.

Any Questions?
