The US dollar may be "fiat currency", but in the global race to the bottom, the USA is still on top. The price of oil in dollars is half what it used to be. The Chinese are devaluing their currency in an attempt to goose their own economy, which means even cheaper Chinese stuff for us. The Europeans are too green for fracking, so now we're selling THEM fuel. Don't know how long it will last, but for now things are pretty good. Now if we could only bring back real middle-class jobs.
