I had heard of the euros/dollars thing but never heard it made a big deal of. I'm going to check into it and see if I can find anything. I'd like to think this isn't all so we can run a deficit. I really don't know what the hell they are thinking running that huge deficit, although I had heard once that repubs like to run a deficit so their rich friends can buy up t-bills and make money off the government. Not sure I believe that because they can make more insider trading and things like that, but it's one explanation - I mean besides the obvious that they have to run deficits to pay for tax cuts, but it's so short sighted. If we weren't paying interest on that we would have so much more money for tax cuts or anything else.
