Re Dodd 2.0:"Don't get me wrong -- I'm all for clever compromise, but this one looks like the proverbial camel concocted by a committee that set out to design a horse. "

 

He must mean a jackass...

Paul Krugman is about as useless as a JAVA programmer on the Titanic.

How true. On the other hand, knowing that the ship goes down and you with it a little Java programming is a great diversion to keep your mind from thinking about the impending catastrophe all the time.

Colonel Sanders?

 

China called on US multinationals on Tuesday to lobby the Obama administration against taking protectionist measures over the Chinese currency, just as attitudes towards China appear to be hardening in the US ­Congress.

Dr. Hussman's elegant, academician language is great cover for the scary message he's conveying.

The U.S. has pressured China for some time to allow its currency, the yuan, to appreciate.

 

You think they will be so hot for China to revalue the yuan if China decided they would revalue only AFTER they sold all their T-bonds? Be careful what you wish for. Would anyone care about a 40% stronger yuan if US interest rates are at 10%? Typical US political rhetoric - consequences be damned.
