Just saw a PBS News Hour piece on Snow and the Chinese Yuan exchange rate. I'll have to catch it again later, since the phone rang four times during the brief time the piece was on. To the best of my ability to discern, no mention was made of the earlier Chinese threat to change their policy of purchasing US debt, if pressed on the exchange rate. Some mention was made that Snow was not particularly forceful in his request. Wonder why? lurqer

''I've had a lot of moments like this,'' Alou said. ''I would put it in the top 100.'' If Alou can win a division championship in Chicago, it might be worthy of his top-10 list...>>

with KRich, I described a unique opportunity to grill Greenspan my college roommate used to work directly with Bernie Sanders in the mayor's office in Burlington VT before Sanders ran and won a Congressional seat Bruce asked me to produce 3-4 questions to hand Sanders, who would then grill Greenspan, whom he despises and disrespects here is an outline of my questions, agreed upon with KRich At Pavillon outdoor café, we talked about Alan Greenspan, Bernie Sanders, Bruce S. link He seemed to find this grilling opportunity to be interesting, so we concluded on 4 points: (AG) #1. on hedonic IT pricing, effect on GDP growth overstated grossly (AG) #2. debt growth 6x faster than GDP growth, evidence of futility of monetary expansion (AG) #3. financial debt growth dominance, yet no capital formation to produce wealth or jobs (AG) #4. concept of recovery with 5-6% trade gap is utterly ridiculous (job loss severe) Bruce suggested direct questions with leading sentences in a single page, but with a 2-3 page white paper to back it up I must elaborate on it perhaps the same questions for McTeer as a warmup? thanks, and please stay on my back about this I have become very busy in the last three weeks / jim
