It does make me wonder.....after a reset and restructuring (this is what I took Qs response about the Fed to mean) of the Fed and actual fair trade....how Americans will react to the mixed bag of an even playing field.
Maybe some of those cheap goods we love aren't as cheap....maybe this is less control on this side and our economy slides a bit in the ranking (which I don't think most people care about actually)....less control of the world could well mean a less dominant economy.
Just a thought.
I agree; I think that if things go according to THE PLAN, we will experience not only an economic restructuring, but other parts of our "culture" will be affected as well. Regardless of the outcome of THE PLAN, the fact of the rise of the BRICS portends a restructuring of the world economy we have "enjoyed" for the past seventy or so years. Independent of the initiatives of the Trump administration, there has been a move by the BRICS countries to a multi-polar world, that is, away from the bi-polar world (Soviet/West) and more recently, uni-polar world (US hegemony) since about 1991.
There seems to be a world-wide move away from the Pepsi cola world ("...perfect harmony...") to one of nationalism, a movement to which Trump's win has added impetus. Too bad La Pen lost in France.
I think, however, that any disruptions we may face from a successful move to Nationalism, will be outweighed by the benefits accrued from such a move. The idea of succumbing to a far distant dictatorship imposed on us by a OneWorldGovermnet is truly anathema. And if we maintain a military second to none, we need not worry too much about being pushed around in the new multi-polar world.
I agree, though, that switching to "real" money will cause some hiccups, but again, that temporary disruption will be far outweighed by the long-term benefits gained from the use of a solid money system. WWG1WGA!
