The Euro may have been equivalent to the dollar when introduced but it 
dropped Mighty Fast and Hard to around $0.70 before working its way back up.

"""What Goes Up Must Come Down"""    ----    Chust a statement as a 
Reminder,  NOT  Predictive.     Nothing is Guaranteed  --  Not Anyone 
knows if the Euro will stay there, climb higher, move lower  --  No One  
*Knows*  that~!~!~!

Bangor Maine to Charlotte NC  --  *might*  be the width of ALL 
Europe.     Countries over there are about the size of our states and 
last I counted, they donut have 50-states  --  Small 
States~!~!~!~!       Geography  Much  Different.       Tis Not our fault 
that the Untied States of America is So Large.

Even though we have Many Trite Statements like:::
.
.......What Goes Around Comes Around .......
.
....... History Repeats .......
.
....... Etc. .......
.
Most here would emphatically state that we can't have a  *Depression*  
today because We Know So Much More than they did then.       Trouble is, 
they Did say that Then~!~!~!~!
.
Maybe the  *cards*  are setting us up for a Depression~!~!~!     Don't 
Know but AnyThing Is Possible~!~!~!

Another Trite Statement:::::

Recessions // Depressions tend to do what we as InHumans are Too Frail 
To Do  --  take the  fat // PORK // PIGs  out of the system and make us 
more Lean And Mean.       It is hardship that pulls people // nations 
back together  --  faced with rising prices we find a way to produce our 
own.     Recessions // Depressions don't discriminate  --  they Can And 
Do hit All Parts Of The World~!~!~!~!       *Maybe__Not*  at the same 
time, but they do strike everywhere~!~!~!

After All, the LCD is People and All People come from the same place

problems and is laying off people into the 40,000 and 50,000 range  --
