But, very few in the US are aware of the problem ... it's major on our headlines, well duh it's a strike against our sovereignty and everything we stand for, over and above the fact that it puts so many of us out of work so instantly - but it's not on US headlines ... in the next post, Dalton Camp suggests a way to put it there, heh heh One of the things this timber baron group won't admit is that much of the pricing differential comes about through all the air pumped into the US dollar over the last few years due to the same high-dollar policy that is ravaging resource industries around the planet ..... they could make a lot more money loading up on bullion and gold calls and ultra-cheap gold stocks, then doing a Soros on the greenback for their nineteen point three per cent, than they could make by trying to beat up on canadians That air should and will come out in any case - #reply-16238604 - imagine a 1.10 greenback plus their nineteen point three - no more forestry north of the 49th, and their captive consumers paying through the nosetest.crbindex.com @ECC.1 <-- euro rallying into its changeover, when it's in completely i'd be very surprised to see it under 1.00US
