1. Why would a dropping dollar mess up Europe? Their gas would

get cheaper by the day. We don't manufacture anything, so there isn't much they buy from us. Yes, we buy a lot from everyone, but with other countries's economies rising, the world could just by-pass us economically and just deal with each other.

And lastly, most of what we buy in this country is either junk or baubles. Things no one needs to live. Cute little decorations or entertainment. What kind of stupid economy is that? We have to produce and buy "stuff" so the world can be happy?
