    I suspect come November, the punditry will be saying foreign policy has never had less of an impact on a presidential election. Which won't be a good thing for this president.

    The thing is, foreign policy isn't just wars anymore. It's economic policy, too. Our relationship with China's all about money. If the euro goes blooey, foreign policy will become a VERY big issue.

    Romney has just so many similarities to George W. Bush it is really unsettling.

    Aside from the facts they both grew up in wealthy, politically-connected families, each had a father named George who ran for president and had ties to Nixon, each has an initial of W., both were governors, both are in the GOP, both have ties to advisor Meghan O'Sullivan, both were replaced by African-American politicians........

    China has already spent the last few years trying to undermine the dollar as the global currency used for the large majority of the world's trades. The U.S. is making it easier for them, and if the euro goes blooey they will see it as an opportunity.

    The only small monkey in their wrench is that although China has no official sovereign debt, it has been running the same play book as the rest of the world -- just in a more corrupt way that intermingles it's banking system with bad loans through state-run companies. The overall debt picture in China is probably staggering.

    Cleaning up its banks with capital injections is going to be hard this time around, because of the worldwide debt situation making finding that capital nearly impossible.

    Reuters happened to do something about it today:

    http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/27/us-china-economy-banks-idUSBRE83Q06D20120427

    Every time I start to believe that China and Russia and Venezuela could really form an alternative global currency to the dollar, things like that remind me of the corruption, and their own debt problems which they try to keep hidden, and it makes me realize it is going to take some time before they can take that cushion away from us.
