Yen at 97 to the US Dollar!

Too bad we can't hang ex-presidents and use their money to pay for the war and help the economy.

It's closer to 95 now. Gold is $1031 and rising.

The Bush administration assholes are absolutely vile. This is criminal. No joking around. This is freaky.

This is a killer for anyone who travels or imports anything, and the nasty effects will be here soon with a huge clunk.

When John Q. Idiot Public finally wakes up they should lock up these guys for life. John Q. Idiot Public won't do a thing until a loaf of bread is $25 and nobody can buy anything from China.

The morons are actually DEMANDING China leave the dollar peg, which will instantly collapse the dollar. They want to wreck it and it beats me why.

This is just the beginning. USA haters can gloat.

John Q. Idiot Public...? Elitist twit! Share your plan on how to fix this instead of name calling. I agree with your comments about the current administration but take great issue with your comments about JQIP.

btw...I've been an elitist twit so I speak from experience.

Best to ignore messages you don't like, or the mods may slam you, rather than stop these posts from clueless partisans. I'll say it again, I don't come here to read leftists spewing anti-Bush speech. I come for for gear and photography talk.

If congress would pass a tariff bill it would force the many countries that depend on our economy to adjust their exchange rates. Then BS like the "economic stimulous bill" wouldnt be necessary. Dont get me wrong $1200 will be nice in May/June but it does nothing but put us further into recession and increase the national deficit.

Read the history regarding the Smoot-Hawley tariff act. I'd wager a tariff act would push us deeper into the coming morass.

Again, let's talk gear. This other stuff is too depressing and divisive.

Doesn't every (democratic) nation have the government it deserves?

no not really, all deserve much better than what they got.
If the US dollar was tied to bi-metalism it would always be worth a dollar, instead of the Federal Reserve fiat monopoly game money, which the U.S. taxpayer always has to pay interest on.

Don't understand the "they" (politicians, bureaucrats) versus "us" thinking. Weren't THEY elected by US, or at least the majority uf us (GW's first election may be an exception to this rule).
