And you do a nice job of illustrating the deep discord I alluded to.

How'd they respond? Wondering

another interesting spin on the situation

Until the “send her home” debacle, McCain felt free to hate Ilhan Omar. Now, she says, Trump is “taking away my agency to criticize her policy” https://t.co/4hjxilDgb1

Think you mean TPP, the "taste great, less filling" argument of tfree trade agreements where progressives managed to ignore the decrease of extreme poverty from 30+% to 8-9% from 1980 on, instead focusing on wage parity and somehow worrying about developing countries while fucking them at the same time by turning all isolationist/protectionist - yet saving China's near-monopoly to boot.

In reply to No. We just largely seem to

In the 2016 election cycle, the fretting turned toward whether trade agreements such as TARP were good or bad. The positive side of TARP was that it created a competitive market as an alternative to China dominating production in Asia. The negative element was that it continued the off-shoring of capital and labor. The difference of opinions involved in the matter were deep enough to split the Democratic Party.

Is it that kind of thing that just gets repeated repeatedly?

You haven't read any thing on

You haven't read any thing on monetary theory. You didn't even bother to read the brief explanation from your own link. From your link:

These are the top 10 highest currency in the world with respect to the value in Indian Rupees. The strength or popularity of a currency is an entirely different thing. A Euro or the USD holds more value, is traded more and is used in more countries than the Kuwaiti Dinar even though KWD is valued as the highest currency in the world. Similarly, currencies like the Japanese Yen or Chinese Yuan don’t feature in any top 10 highest currency in the world list but they are still traded more than some other currencies in this list. So this list signifies the numerical value of a currency with respect to Indian Rupee and not its trade value.

No. It is not. Gulf Arab currencies are all ahead of the Dollar. Look it up.

In reply to I am not sure how you are

No. We just largely seem to be fretting over the same stuff America has year in and year out, while truly dynamic change is happening in the larger world. That dynamic change is the miraculous growth of China and the futility of American efforts against it illustrate how much the world is changing. His approach to circumventing China is purely defensive and reactive. A candidate who would outpace him would be one who would be proactive in having America compete with China in emerging markets. Got to go! Good convo. XoXoXo

In reply to The progressive panicking is

Truly I don't know what you're talking about. I'll choose one statement to address. " The dollar is in the bottom of the top 10 currencies of the world." The dollar is the reserve currency of the world. No one wants the Renminbi. No one wants the Ruble. The world really doesn't even want the Euro though it is closest to an alternative currency to the dollar. All efforts to supplant the dollar, and there have been several, have failed. All major international trades, particularly oil, are conducted in dollars. When ever a nation's currency fails the people switch to the dollar. Even Venezuela, which hates the US and has major relations with Russia and China, have gravitated to the dollar when their currency collapsed in value. I'm not saying that's a good thing or that I'm proud of it. I'm just saying that the dollar is the most valued and desired of any other nation's currency, even the EU.
