Very sad indeed. The Fed is not evil in nature - they act to
prevent an immediate crisis, while contributing to a
long-term problem. Americans are short term thinkers. I think
the real issue here is outsourcing and globalization.
Labor arbitrage. How on Earth can Americans pay for imported
products if they are losing high paying jobs and even call
center jobs to India and China? By going into debt... The whole
scheme simply can't last. Greenspan has done a lot of damage.
Right now we are simply screwed one way (inflation) or the
other (debt collapse), the Fed KNOWs we are screwed,
and they act to contain an immediate fire, derivative
domino effect that will collapse the entire banking system,
while HOPING things will improve. The USD will only improve
if manufacturing comes back. Judging by Real Estate in Michigan,
it's still going, not coming back. US big businesses are
shooting themselves in the foot.

I have to kick Shrub hard - waging wars, increasing
spending, while cutting taxes. The math does not work,
and that's the major issue with the dollar.
