if i'm not mistaken there are a number of opec nations pushing to change the oil standard to the euro. the current oil standard is the dollar. if the
oil currnecy standard changes to the euro, then the euro will see a large increase in value, while the dollar will fall even farther. with the us as
the worlds largest debtor nation, this is bad news for our position in the world economy. in time, the euro is going to overcome anyway.
