Exactomundo, So are we Europeans wanting a good return on the wealth, our blood lines assured us of having - members of the lucky sperm club or elite "smarter than the people" planners of the good future for America? Or are we risk taking entrepeneurs that create wealth? Seems to me many of those sorry unemployed are a bit too selective! Perhaps they need to get motivated and find out the big G is out of money - Time to find a job. P.S just cuz it doesn't have declining industry union wage scales - mebbe you get to starve ! I'm sick of those riding on the wagon wanting the rightful life style of those pulling the wagon. Time for the workers to say BS!!! Jmho Bob

"When will the US stop BS-ing the rest of the world to the effect that 'The US wants a strong dollar.' Of course, what the US really wants is a slowly weakening dollar to help our exports. But despite Washington's phoney protestations, 'quantitative easing' continues to pump record amounts of liquidity into the system, and there isn't the slightest hint that the Bernanke-Geithner team is ready to cut back on their liquidity program ('whatever it takes'). You have to wonder whether our creditors are taking the ridiculous 'strong dollar' mouthings of the US seriously. I would think all this official BS would annoy the hell out of our creditors (who are seriously worried about the dollar). Ah well, as far as Washington is concerned, it's 'keep the printing the money,' and keep the BS flowing. Last week the central banks of Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong and Singapore created more junk money with which to buy dollars -- this in an effort to keep the dollar stronger against their own currencies. A strong dollar creates a problem for those who want to sell their merchandise to the US. Ultimately, it all ends with more liquidity and potential further monetary inflation across the globe. The desperate Asian efforts to slow the dollar's descent may work for a few days or so, but the basic direction of the dollar is toward the lower depths. The dollar's trend is not lost on gold. Over the last six months, the dollar has lost 15% of its value. In all, it hasn't been an easy time for the anti-gold 'dollar-bugs.'" Message 26025801
