The $64 Trillion Question: What's the Dollar Really Worth?

U.S. has a strong military? You have got to be kidding me. George and Dick have squandered it in Iraq, We're over extended, the equipment is getting used up, and the troops are on their 2nd, 3rd or even approaching their 4th deployment. Recruitment is down, and where it is up, they are taking in those with only 1 conviction, and lowering the standards for education. We are spent. Printing more 'paper' money is the only thing keeping us alive. We couldn't take on another war like against Syria or Iran without massive investment of our own capital (people, new equipment, etc ).
Just my own humble opinion, but with Cheney talking WAR over in the Georgia and Ukraine, Putin knows we don't have the muscle to back up his pronouncements.
Good Luck, we'll need it.
