I believe the only institution that should be printing legal tender for the United States is the United States government.
Interest rates on government loans should be set by the government and privately held/issued loan rates should be determined by the private entities that issue/hold the loan.
I would plan on dealing with Venezuela and the rest of Latin America's political leaders the same as any other country. As I've said I believe in a united America from the Arctic to the Straight of Magellan. I believe there are common goals and interests that unite us all. I would encourage hemispheric cooperation and integration on all fronts (trade, defense, health care, education, etc) for the betterment of all countries including the United States, but not solely the United States.
Hugo Chavez could never be a threat to America. In fact he could be one of our closest allies and do a great deal to help the United States and help archive the goals i stated above.
I don't believe it should be our goal in the United States to tone down or remove any government other than our own. Realistically it is quite possible for this to be accomplished. All we need is leadership that is not so extremely arrogant as to believe that we know better than others how their own country should be run. Does this mean we have to agree with everything we see? Obviously not, but if we expect others to respect us, we should be ready to give some respect in return.
Improving economic sustainability, social networks, education, etc around the world should be the goal of every country. We should embrace those countries with similar goals and work together to achieve them. I believe it is counter productive and never possible to archive such goals through overt or covert intervention on military levels. Nor do I believe it is productive to intentionally manipulate other countries economies, political situations, etc as a way to achieve our own goals.
Countries that wish not to align themselves with such goals would find themselves alone on the world stage and increasingly isolated from the rest of the world. I believe there are a number of governments that currently have the same goals and other countries that would quickly jump on board if such an opportunity was presented to ally with the United States on this new agenda.
It is important to remember that such goals are not to be achieved solely for the betterment of others at the expense or on the shoulders of the American people. There is much that can be done in our country to better itself as there is much that can be done around the world that would positively effect the American people at home. There is much our friends around the world can and would do for the American people.
This is will always be my first priority. The American people.
