;these are totaly different days and times david s hovda 02/01/2011 @ 4:10pm Allen; you are living in the past tense!!! These days are totaly different than the 50-60s 70s and 80s and 90s.!!! your college econ 101 is totaly absurd and out of date!!! the world has gooten much richer and 100 billion more people to feed, and the crazy tit for tat trade barriors have finally fallen., except for a few favored under the table commodities such as sugar tabbaco and peanuts, wich are senate bought subsidies and import quotas and bennies for the house of lords (senate) called senators. Bennarke has virtually declared war on his own currancy, ( print what ever i have too) wall street and the fed are joined at the hip , and the politicians just do what they are told, so Allen they did not teach this at econ 101 at Ivy leage university!!!
