What if the media wanted to have a recession but no one participated in it?

Then the MSM would be crestfallen because their liberal Democrat brethren would not be assisted in the manner they had hoped for. Does that answer your question?

Let’s revisit the question in a year or two.

Wow, trash-talk from a Boston sports fan.
That's . . . so . . . atypical.

Generally, the LIBOR follows the Prime rate but there is no direct correlation. Especially since the LIBOR is the London InterBank Offered Rate.

It may be what they want, but there's really nothing written into our laws and/or our culture that would promote that kind of scenario.
If anything, it's the opposite . . . we can't even get our government to enforce immigration laws already on the books!

The dollar is a market just like stocks, bonds and commodities.
The “short the dollar” trade has a lot of gains in it, and the Fed has put out contradictory information for people shorting the dollar in the last week.
So the Forex traders will cover their trades. When they do that, the dollar goes up - in the short term.
People need to learn to not pay too much attention to a single day, and to pay much more attention to trends. The trend on the USD has been down - hard - for a couple months.

What you speak of is a classic example of what happens when a central bank allows deflation to get away from them: it is impossible to force people to spend money.

Don’t mock them, If I just listened to those goldbugs half the time, I’d be a millionare.
Of course, the trick is knowing which half of the time to listen to them :-)
To: Petronski
Yes, but I bet a large portion of people reading this didn’t know that.

That's good news for speculators that benefit benefit from the volatility int he stock price.
For the rest of us it would be good news if the Fed didn't need to cut rates to keep stimulating the economy to avoid recession.
Bah, don't mind me. I'm just bitter because my girlfriend lives in Canada and the weak dollar is killing me whenever I go to visit here there. The dollar was just getting back to the point where it looked like it might start gaining value against the loony again, but a rate cut will reverse that once again.
