And So It Begins (Dollar Warnings)

I have been on a potential dollar dislocation - or collapse - for more than two years. Indeed, back in the fall of 2007, it was one of the themes of petitions to Congress and letters I sent under personal cover to all 535 members.

The debt liquidation cycle of 2008/early-09 appeared to stop the deterioration. Unfortunately that cycle was interrupted - intentionally - by enabling a continuing pattern of lies and fraud within our government.

This has reversed all of the gains that the dollar had made last fall and winter, despite the stock market and other asset prices being materially lower - by a lot - than when those warnings were issued.

Treasury is always "for a strong dollar" in word, but their view when it comes to deeds is another matter. This is most unfortunate, as this, like Treasury's and The Fed's view when it comes to sweeping trouble under the rug and lying about asset quality has been proved wrong through time not only here in America but worldwide.

The alphabets will start promoting the idea that a weaker dollar is part of the recovery package.

Just more evidence of the O’s genius.

They have already started: A weak dollar improves exports by making them cheaper abroad--improves domestic sales by making imports more expensive... Yada yada yada.

The whores are so-o-o predictable.
