This thing that has everyone is all upset about, the President coming out yesterday on our emigration, at least it is some sort of order being proposed to this problem, a lot better than it is now. Also, leave it up to the democrats and the whole world would be made citizens on our country.

The IMF has weighed in on the US budget deficit, saying that it will hurt the world's economy by driving up international rates of interest.

The worst possible news would be if the IMF announced that the U.S. economy is in great shape. The opposite would follow straight away. Works every time. Anyway, the key word here is "international" interest rates, not U.S. rates. The Fed again didn't raise the rates, and the dollar went lower. If everyone's buying Euros, they're gonna want a return on 'em somehow, right? Right. So who's interest rates, exactly, are we worried about?

Meanwhile, China and Japan are hoarding dollars. Why would they, when the dollar is falling? Either they don't think it'll fall (it will if they unload 'em), or they're financing their own exports to the U.S. while at the same time assuring that their own currencies stay low (especially China).

It ain't rocket science. It's economics. And that ain't a science. If anything, and above all, economics is politics. Especially at the IMF.

Elsewhere, after seeing these lawsuits you guys have mentioned, I did a google news search for "sues" and cataloged a few of the fun results on my blog (I included, bevlar, that lawsuit against the President). It's pathetic.
