<<Inflation incoming to a town near you.>>

Don't you know - the Slickster administration has decided to protect the spirit of free markets. They will pre-empt every destabilizing force they see on the horizon.

Be it high oil prices (we will release SPRs),

or be it CPI (no problem, we will ajust computations on a daily basis - they will still stay honest - in such a way that CPI will never be a problem again.)

or be it evil shorts (we will arrange for short-squeezes)

Or be it stock market crash (we will buy futures and stabilize the markets)

or be it commodities explosion (we will suspend trading in certain commodities if we don't like the price - thank you Tokyo for showing us the way with Palladium)

If none of them work and the stock market crashes there by hurting the hard working day traders, we wil use the Hong Kong model and buy all the stocks with no bids from the day trading community.

How the World Really Works

"The World Trade Organization, responding to European complaints, last week upheld a ruling that the system, in which U.S. companies set up offshore subsidiaries to escape taxes, amounted to an illegal subsidy....

Mr. Summers vowed to defend the offshore subsidiaries"

Also another interesting example of European/U.S. tensions. No wonder the markets don't like the Euro.
