    Why would a party with any kind of a backbone want to diminish transparency and something that discourages corrupt behavior?

    Even if they did want to do this, how is it that they don't see a move like this would show their colors to the masses very clearly?

    It took a twitter from Trump to get them to back away from this thinking? No wonder conservatives are disenchanted with this party.

    Brazil does not depend on the United States and should start selling its reserves in dollars soon. The accumulation of reserves is now accredited according to the source of foreign currency received.
    What we export to China becomes foreign exchange reserve in Yuan.
    What we export to Russia becomes foreign exchange reserve in Ruble.
    What we export to US becomes dollar exchange reserve.

    This article demonstrates the danger of a British audience getting their news concerning the US from a British government run propaganda organ such as Mercopeguin. Plainly the British have no understanding of how the US government works.
