OK, let's say "The equivalent of $x.xx US dollars circa 2003". We can establish the rate by monetary exchange rates as of 00:01 GMT on April 1, 2023 and by indexing the amount of a specific product could purchase on average in the US (or UK) at 00:01 GMT on April 1, 2003. Now, what specific terms and criteria will be used to determine if the US has "crashed and burned" by that time? Adam C. Lipscomb [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Silence.
