re-peg to the euro LOL

hahaha

the only countries pegged to the euro are the european countries and 3 others that were pegged to the french franc before the euro, so naturally they would peg to the euro since there is no french franc anymore

got it einstein

So in your small and very pathetic mind the Euro can''t become the basis for exchange in the world? You Nazi''s are so full of yourselves you can neither hear or understand what people who do not belong to the Party are saying. But then YOU freaks did give us the WORST in US HISTORY so what can we expect. Sieg Heil Lars!!

Obama is promoting his primary ingreedent in his health plan as "prevention"--but he smokes cigarettes!
Can you imagine a photo of him on Prevention Magazine''''s cover, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth? I have seen such a photo--so it could happen. The Republicans WANT Obama. They want a straw-man they can allow to be built up so they can knock him down in the polls.
Additionally--"prevention" as he puts it means you would have to report to a doctor when you feel fine--so the "medical authorities" can do a fishing expedition...
He needs the experience that Hillary already has.
Let him be Vice President--he''''s only 46!!!

"something that war pig idiot doesn''''t understand."

Pathetic.

"Also, they are being obliged to defend the peg and to discourage speculation more or less following the U.S. interest rate cuts, which isn''''t what they need at all. And that''''s the basis of the problem and the main deleterious effect is the fact that it is helping to push up inflation" Posted by j-whitman

Soon, the pressure to re-peg to the euro will be too great, and OPEC will move to protect the value of its oil.

By the way, there is a way out of this that doesn''t require war, but none of the candidates is willing to consider it, as it would upset the balance of corruption.

"The answer is: They rely on the Americans for leadership and when the Americans misstep, which we have done, they get very frightened..." Posted by j-whitman

Morici is also mistaken, it is not leadership, it is the fact that the US was, at one time the largest economy, absorbing the foreign countries'' exports. Now that the US middle class economic engine has been decimated by "trickle down", corruption and "globalization", the US can no longer buy in the amounts they used to.

It was economic stability and growth potential that was the linchpin, but now there is none, so the US is becoming more of a trivial market, not worth the trouble its leaders cause, the new markets of the Soviets, India and China are about to relegate it to being still somewhat valuable, but not the most desirable.

"Countries, because of the slide of the dollar, have experienced the painful adjustment in their reserves and they would like to diversify into other currencies." Posted by j-whitman

What Weller doesn''t speak of is the reactions of these countries. Anyone doing business in China soon learns the word "Kiasu", which basically means "afraid". Afraid to lose, afraid to miss, afraid of being left out, if the US$ slides much further, as it must, given the deficit spending the illegal war has forced us into, en masse, the Chinese will quickly dump their US debt holdings, to cut their losses, which will make the dollar slide even further.

The only reason the dollar has any value at all is because it is the currency that is used to pay for OPEC oil, an agreement made between Nixon and OPEC before Nixon sold the gold reserve on the pen market, starting on August 19, 1972.

The dumping by the Chinese will force OPEC to switch to the Euro, to protect the value of its oil, then the US$ becomes worthless overnight. This is also why "bomb Iran" McCain is the most dangerous loose cannon that America could put into power, Bombing Iran will trigger the collapse of the dollar, something that war pig idiot doesn''t understand.

I don''t look forward to four more years of the Clinton twins with their political baggage and how beholden they are to entrenched Washington pols. They are part of Washington''''s "good ole boys" club, part of the problem, not the solution. There is nothing good about that. This Country is in the mess it is in because of the last 40 years of ineptness, arrogance, corruption, loss of world stature by our Washington pols. The old timers need to be voted out. We need fresh, young idealistic people who can muster the strength to change the partisanship that has divided the U.S. Two terms maximum, 6 years max for president. Yes, it is "change" we need, not more of the same.
Incidentally, I am 72 years old, veteran, white.

Don,,,, See you tomorrow, dinner''s on

J, BTW, Taylor does not have supporters on that.

The recent global meltdown in the stock market has seriously wounded Taylor''s theory of decoupling.

Taylor was "hoping" the rest of the world was decoupled from the US economy. Not yet true.
