The #USdollar is a problem for everyone
"In 1971, #US #Treasury Secretary #JohnConnally famously told his counterparts in G10 tt "the #dollar is our #currency, but it's your #problem". Connally was being unexpectedly candid abt e fact tt, even tho the #greenback was the world's main #reservecurrency, its foremost purpose was to advance #USinterests. That remains true today. The spillovers fr the #Fed's higher-for-longer #policy position r perhaps most pronounced in Japan"

#Reagan sabotaged #JimmyCarter reelection w/ #JohnConnally assist

-2000
#GeorgeW stole frm #AlGore > #JebBush assist

#TFG stole frm #Hilary > #Putin assist

Abt 1 steal every 1/2 generation or every 14.33yrs.

So #Democrats would’ve shaped #policy at least 12 more yrs > w/ 28% more influence at natl-global scale if no cheating by the despicables. Significant.
