Stephen Roach was a $2000 donor to the Kerry campaign. He is trying his hardest to make his loser RAT dream of American failing with Bush in office come true. His political agenda makes no economic sense.
Very perceptive. George Bush intends to revamp the way we are taxed, tackle the Social Security debacle, kick butt over at the State Department: win in Iraq, correct Carter's failed Iran policy, Kennedy's Cuba debacle, Truman's twin failures in Korea and China. He will establish American supremacy for decades going forward. He wants to make the US more energy independent, beginning with opening up ANWR. He will push tort reform and reform the judiciary with conservative appointments
This is a major threat to domestic bureaucrats and they are scared. Soros is a currency speculator who couldn't buy this election with his millions, but he'll do what he can to manipulate currencies and oil prices. These Demo-flaks have their predictions and an MSM to tout them.
Bush remains unphased and will tackle the entrenched interests head on. People like Roach fear Bush's coming successes at trimming the power of the entrenched, and they want to project their patholic fears like they did during the election campaign. What these jerks really fear is any hint of returning power to the governed and away from the Washington/world power pigs that stand to lose ultimately.
Note that none of this whining about the dollar and the deficits has only really gotten high pitched since the election. The is a very strong element of Bush bashing here. Thaqt is not to say that there are not problems, but things are really not this dire.
