Perhaps wishful thinking, perhaps not.

Everywhere I hear talk about how the dollar will soon collapse because the Chinese and the Russians want to replace it as the world's reserve currency. We seem to be over our heads in debt and our manufacturing sector has been Obamafied.

What does the US still have? We have more oil in shale than the whole Middle East, we have tons of natural gas, and enough fertile land to feed the world. A billion Chinese have to eat something, and we can provide them with food. If only we could unleash all this potential.
