FT trust bubble article almost grasps full dollar consequences it is not about greater trust in Europe or elsewhere to take economic leadership it is about distrust of US and lost confidence in both its leaders and integrity "European and Asian exporters enjoyed the competitive boost while lower import prices kept the lid on inflationary pressures in the booming US economy." he doesnt take the next step the declining dollar will open the back door to US inflation why do the experts not address this critical issue? why must they wait for this issue to SURPRISE us? during the 1990's we heard incessant editorials about how the rising dollar, the strong dollar kept inflation at bay by reducing import costs, for both finished products and for components the rising dollar resulted in the biggest and most massive dislocation of manufacturing capacity in history we dont produce much in the USA now we pay for that dislocation with higher prices no way out they dont want to talk about it because it is too horrible maybe the pundits are gonna hide on the subject until the 800-lb beast beats on the door and sits on the CPI index I believe it will show itself by mid to late autumn how can it not? either in CPI or lost profit margins altogether? how can both be avoided? damn, I love this stuff while 90% of the western world intelligensia is put to sleep by it this is chess with multi-dimensional data / jim
