Snow and Bush totally miss the Chinese currency challenge

Bush says that raising the yuan peg is "in Chinese best interests"
not for promoting more trade surpluses
perhaps for avoiding internal bubbles from overexpansion built off surplus accounts in bank system

Snow wants an exchange rate based on market equilibrium
as Jack Nicholson said once "you cant handle the truth"
the USEconomy could not handle a market-based yuan rate
imported price inflation would hurt badly our economy
imagine 30-40% of WalMart products rising 20-60%

our financial leaders are hack amateurs
we wanted low Chinese import prices until it drained our capital lifeblood
now that we have an entrenched dependence on their cheap mfg, we want the prices to rise???

I have never seen so many Catch-22 situations
- low shorterm rates must rise
- high USDollar must fall
- low Chinese yuan peg must rise
- astronomical gold & silver shorts must be covered

all will do horrendous damage to the US economy
