    can someone explain to me how the US dollar can be so strong when the country has a such a massive i repeat massive debt, which is increasing by the day.
    i mean if my neighbour owed vast amounts of money to others, i would certainly not loan him any money, as i would be sure of never getting it back.
    am i missing something simple or could it be the emperor has no clothes on ?
    just thinking out loud
