If you believe either sentence you clearly know nothing about economics.
Even in the position we're in today, we're still the strongest economy on the planet. We still have the largest influence in the financial market. Our GDP is still about three times the next in the list. Hell, it's fifteen times your country's. Our PPP is still the highest and the only time in recent history we've dipped below any other country in the global competitiveness report was to the Swiss in 2009. For a month. Hell, California alone is still in the top ten of GDPs and its completely bankrupt.
The dollar is still today the most important piece of currency the world has known since and including the Roman Empire. More business is done with the dollar than all other currencies put together. We are still the leader in international trade. We import more before breakfast than most other countries do all month. And still, even in the midst of a global economic crises, we still have the ability to release a new iphone and have millions of people with expendable income blow more money on crap they don't need.
Even at our worst we're still on top. Even at our weakest we're still stronger than everyone else. The entirety of the European Union - which was only able to spend so much money on its social services because it depended on American military strength for protection - is the only thing that can come close and they're still a haphazard collection of people too stupid to learn how to play well with each other and are still going bankrupt.
Face it; we go, we take every trading partner with us. With all those trading partners in the hole there will be nothing to prop up everyone else. You think Australia is entirely self-sufficient? Have fun with that.
There's always a scale involved.
But when our currency goes from 50c to your Dollar, to 90+c to your Dollar, it shows that our economy is strong and getting stronger. Not to mention how we were hardly affected by the recession you guys created.
When I was a cashier people would pay for their stuff in food stamps then get in their learjets to fly back to the ghetto and sell crack.
It looks like the Manchurian candidate condition the military gave SemperFly is still working. Our economy is not the strongest in the world at the moment.
our economy is the distance of the moon ahead of yours
Learn to read. Even in a recession our economy is many times stronger than yours. We lose the equivalent of your entire GDP in a year and are still able to put people into space.

I'm thinking a lot of things. Even being in the shitter our economy is above yours and the rest of the planet. And when ours collapses, yours will not survive. Sorry, pookie. That's what you get for riding the coattails of big brother for a century.
Honestly, the world will switch to the euro, China will not be able to export as much to America, but they will find newer markets. Africa might rise up, we might rise up. There are still many goods to be made and plenty of people to consume them without America. The world is not going to sit stagnant with America out of the picture. The world moved on after Roman Empire. The world move on after the English Empire. The world will move on after the American Empire.
Greece's economic issues showed some of the problems with the euro. Tying all of our economies too tightly together is dangerous at times.
they also thought the sun revolved around the earth back then. empires rose and fell without 95% of the world even knowing about it. comparing apples and oranges
