Don't let Chuck Shumer know that! If he finds out a strong dollar is in the US's interest he will do everything he can to weaken it!

Enough so that there will be enough credit out there for all the broke a*s Americans to take out another re-fi on their already stupid ARM's to pay for their credit cards, car loans, gasoline, food, vacations, and kid's college edumacation.

Embracing strong dollar as policy isn't going to do much to encourage China, as far as anything more than just a symbolic, minor move away from the Renminbi "linkage" (mot that encouraging weak currency did much in that regard, either). They'll float it in their own time, not ours. Ain't interdependency grand?

....just how many are we printing nowadays? Including or excluding the dollars being printed by North Korea and the Hizbullah? ;-)

very true - I was seeing something on FR a few days ago - many americans fear that the value of their homes is no longer rising.
is that our new economic policy, we have to guarantee hyperinflation of real estate, so americans can have more equity to borrow against, to fund their everyday purchases with? its nuts.

NONE!
Hey...nuthin wrong with that, that's globalization and if the North Koreans can print US dollars cheaper than the US treasury we should give them the job.
The US treasury has no right to be in business if they can't compete with offshore companies / governments.
