<Everyone read what the BOJ is doing.>

I'm not surprised. As the international private sector sees what has been happening to the US Dollar for the past two years and looks elsewhere for investment opportunities, the world's Central Banks are desperately trying to take up the strain. It is going to be VERY costly, to say the least.

The portion of global savings required to fund the US current account deficit has more than tripled since 1997. The bulk of these savings has come from Asia. The US is now absorbing slightly more than 80% of the total savings achieved by all the rest of the world combined. The real problem with this flow of global savings into the US is that it is not being used for any productive purpose. The crash in US capital tools certainly proves that. It is therefore clear that the rest of the world's savings are going straight into the ongoing US private and government consumption, with the first to be seen in the US trade deficit, and with the second to be clearly seen in the fast climbing US federal budget deficit. All the government spending is for the purpose of funding internal political spending and external war making in the Middle East, not to mention the new US military base building.
