Rarebird,
A very short rebuttal to your reply.
Upfront i would like to suggest that apples and oranges are being mixed here, in that what you have submitted is an example to highlight my postion that the official Bush Administration's "strong dollar policy" is just a cover, as in deception, to the actual "work in progress" that will soon take effect and "get real [and] cut the fantasies" such that the following article of which you referenced will just be another item used to keep secret from both the Congress, Senate and American public the actual "work in progress" to deal with the type of situations mentioned as being present in the world economies by those commentators at the Le Metropole Cafe that profess huge amounts of Doom & Gloom existing and hidden, with that "not if, but when" house of cards fall.
Just to double click on my above point, this article written by Lawrence Lindsey is the administration’s dollar policy implemented by secretary o'neill, it is not that which i believe describes the details of what is really being worked on.
Believe it or not, as this is kind of an off the wall type observation, but that article written here by Lindsey is what the administration would expect from O'Neill under conditions as i suggest, that O'Neill is on purpose keep in the dark and only used to shield the "work in progress."
