The Chinese central bank refused to comment on the bill. A leading Chinese government economist told Bloomberg that China wouldn't be swayed into changing its currency policy. "This kind of bill comes up every year and will keep being raised in the future," said Zhu Baoliang, chief economist at the State Information Center, a research group under China's top economic planning agency. "I don't think Chinese government officials will change their stance."

I agree, the free traitors control both political parties.

Yes. I wish the Fed would also lower the rate again and keep it down.
Change is rough, sometimes, but a lower dollar is something that must and will happen one way or the other.
