"Despite the euro's rise in value, as well as the value of other major and minor currencies, the US trade deficits continue to rise. Economic theory would suggest that a fall in the dollar and a rise in the euro should lead to an improvement in US exports and a decline in US imports, as the former becomes cheaper and the latter more expensive. However, this depends to some extent on how currency costs are passed down the supply chain. Furthermore, the declining dollar makes foreign investment in the US cheaper (although also reducing the return), so that continuing foreign investment may underpin the dollar to some extent.
The role of the dollar as the world's de facto reserve currency helps support both the dollar and the US budget deficit - but it depends on the continued willingness of foreigners to finance both. Central banks and others finance the budget by acquiring newly-issued, dollar-denominated US government bonds, which they need to acquire dollars for. If at some point foreigners become unwilling to accept new bonds at the prevailing interest rate (perhaps because the falling dollar is reducing the bonds' value too much), the dollar will fall even more - or the US will have to raise interest rates, which would reduce economic growth.
There is speculation that the strength of the euro relative to the dollar might encourage the use of the euro as an alternative reserve currency; Saddam Hussein's Iraq switched its currency reserves from dollars to euros in 2000. Moves by central banks with major reserve currency holdings such as those of India or China to switch some of their reserves from dollars to euros, or even of OPEC countries to switch the currency they trade in from dollars to euros, will further reinforce the dollar's decline. In 2004, the Bank for International Settlements reported the proportion of bank deposits held in euros rising to 20%, from 12% in 2001, and it is continuously rising. The falling dollar also raises returns for US investors from investing in foreign stocks, encouraging a switch which further depresses the dollar.

The rise in the euro should dampen Eurozone exports, but there is little sign of this happening yet. The main reason is that the currencies of Euroland's major world-wide customers are also seeing their currencies rise relative to the dollar. As the current account deficits continue to rise and the US plans no austerity measures to curb foreign imports and increase exports, the situation may cause the US dollar to lose its position as a hegemonic currency replaced by either the euro or the euro and a basket of currencies."
we shall overcome,as always.
It's natural to be agnostic or atheistic. As children, we find out that Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter bunny were ALL LIES. Why should we believe that god was any different ??
On the other hand, have you ever been in deep trouble or personal crisis ?? You get ever arrested, or have a good friend die ?? In these times you may need a higher power just to get over. It doesn't hurt to have a god around in those cases.
As far as religion, that's all created by man, and yes, it can be bullshit. Priests molesting boys, that's bullshit. Protestants at war with Catholics, Hitler killing Jews, all those Islamic terrorists. All that killing is bullshit.
The bottom line is that if you're a good person, and there is a god, it won't matter about religion. There will be a cool place for you. If there ain't no god, then we're all dead anyway, so religion doesn't matter either way.
yeah easters a good one, jesus christ rose from the dead so, naturally, a bunny rabbit goes around giving people chocolate eggs.
Well you wouldn't want little kids biting the heads off a chocolate Jesus now, would you?Quote:
