The fact that the Bush tax cuts, which acted as a magnet for foreign investment (and domestic investment for that matter) are due to expire has caused dumping of the dollar and the subsequent Fed attempts to soften the blow. There is real damage to real people that is done by zigzagging fiscal and monetary policy.

Nature in sovereign populations needs
No central nous to correlate the deeds.

Excellent article. I wish more Americans would share the simple understanding that the markets work best without any government intervention.

Of government, will govern our events.
