From the reactions over there (none / 0)

I doubt I have convinced many, sadly. The die hards are still at it, explaining to me that it's just a question of time and, guess what, that I am missing the big picture...

It may also be worth hammering the "And if so, so what?" point: That while holding T-bills as a store of value matters greatly to the stability of the dollar, the use of dollars vs. euros as a unit of account or as a medium of exchange isn't of remotely comparable economic importance. The dKos panic-stories confuse these issues.

Words and ideas I offer here may be used freely and without attribution.

Pretty amusing really. The same people that rail against intelligent design have no problem eating up this IOB/Peak oil disaster scenario stuff with a spoon.....
