摘要

The administration and the federal reserve had better act soon to shore up the U.S. dollar. The dollar is deteriorating almost daily against the euro and the yen. A panic attack on greenbacks is imminent if the Fed doesn't act soon to mop up excess liquidity. The last thing we need now is a currency crisis. John Kennedy had it right 40 years ago when he observed that strong states have sound currencies. We are already suffering from a mild inflation, thanks to Alan Greenspan's over-printing of the greenback. The surge in oil prices was not just a result of strong buying from China and India; it was classic inflation. Inflation does not hit the economy evenly; it impacts certain sectors very unevenly. When oil prices started to move up, buyers began to buy more, figuring they would save money because prices would go even higher. Hedge funds and other speculators jumped in, which sent the price up even more. China, India and others began buying extra oil for fear they might get caught short of the stuff, which would hurt their economies. The oil fever is tapering off, as is the inflationary fever that hit the steel industry and international shipping. Other commodities, though, are starting to feel the impact of Greenspan's excessive money creation."
