euro up against the dollar: Europe has a problem (as in: it will suffer)

Re: Hey it's simple (none / 0)

To be honest, perhaps 15 years ago there might have been some sense to that. However, it points to the unimaginative and blinkered view of commentators that they haven't yet noticed that, in a world of considerable non-american economic powers, the USA is not the only market for european hi-tech goods.

After all, the I-35 bridge has always stood, so it always will. The USA is the only serious economic force in the world, so it always will be.
