Gerald, this is getting a little political, which might force me to retire from the debate. I thought this was a safe haven after my sojourns of the last couple months.

As far as Asia and free trade, I'd say they like to talk the talk, but won't walk the walk. I'm not totally up on the current situation, but it was always highly asymmetrical with Japan. My understanding is the situation with China is going in a similar direction. American businessmen see China, naively I'd say, as a big market where they'll have big opportunities. China sees America the same way, but much more realistically, according to trade figures.

Maybe it doesn't matter. You can argue it's good for the markets, the dollars exported usually come back into the financial markets one way or another. All I'd counter is that the government maybe ought to articulate some coherent policy here, perhaps with reciprocity a condition for "free trade", rather than policy by highly paid lobbyists.

Cheers, Dan.
