Not only that, but Americans mostly have no clue about currencies. Do you know that spikes in oil prices almost always are related to drops in the value of the US dollar? The value of the US dollar has plummeted since we started having a mostly unfunded military action in Iraq and Afghanistan.
{Note: Nothing I said has any value judgment about whether we should be there or not. I am livid that we are over there and doing it by just adding to the debt. Be there - fine. don't be there - fine. But if you are gonna go there, figure out beforehand where you are gonna pull the monies from to fund it. Like cutting other services. Or raising other revenues. Or seizing oil field profits. SOMETHING!!!!!!!!}
