Remind us again of the balance of payment problems in the
US?

Its only a problem if its a problem. If you look at recent history, you'll
see that the US had a balance-of-payments situation with Japan for years and
years. In the end they ran their own currency into the ground, making it
easier for us to balance the books.

And what the dollar is worth against the pound? ;-)

First remind me about how simply revaluing pound can make the UK back into
a first-rate world power. If it was that easy, one would think that it
would have already been done.
