>>We are going through difficult times. Unfortunately, the
roots of the present crisis lie mostly in the past. The
decision of the present administration to follow FDR approach
seems correct to me. The economy needs a serious adjustment
as a result of twin bubbles.

I am not sure what cheapening of the currency buys you... other than misery of the savers and pensioners.

If the idea is to get labor on par with China and India, it still has a ways to go.

I don't think so. I think it is a horrible mistaken analogy--a sort of finanacial Maginot Line mentality, fighting the last war.

I think it will produce inflation that will be very hard to arrest.

I think the adjustment will come, but it is not what most (except around here) expect: our cost structure will come down and trend toward the worldwide mean. Only then will jobs begin to be more plentiful in the US of A. Until then, people better plant a garden so they have something cheap to eat.

This year I think there's too much denial -- next year I expect at least a million new gardens, perhaps 10 million.
