Right. It's bilateral. The reality is that foreign holders of US instruments are endangered by US collapse. The US has resorted to extreme measures (some use more negative terminology) to instill and maintain confidence. Basically, "betting the country".

Right or wrong, the immediate crisis appears to be passing. If it does pass, the next question becomes sustainability. A subset of that is monetary policy. "Can it work? Will it work?"

The US needs to become competitive, fast. Decreased outflows. Increased inflows: not borrowed, but earned.

So, IMHO this puts Treasury, the Fed and Obama in a box...

which means, their actions should be predictable...

Which could mean profitable.

I am having some trouble determining the dimensions/limitations of the box and its implications.

Thoughts?
