I also found your blog via boing boing. It has been refreshing. I look forward to hearing your "alternate path." We are struggling as a nation to stimulate the economy and lowing the interest rate, which is our current method of choice, only serves to weaken the dollar. When Warren Buffet is betting against the dollar and has been for two years, that can't be a good thing. Politicians seem to indicate they want to give money to the struggling middle class, however they want to increase gas prices to pay for the degrading infrastructure. This seems a bit of an oxymoron. How can we possibly address all of these issues while pouring money into a war which apparently will only lead to "blowback" in the years to come? As I said, I look forward to hearing about your "alternate path." -KG Jon,

I look forward to hearing your “alternate path.”

We are struggling as a nation to stimulate the economy and lowing the interest rate, which is our current method of choice, only serves to weaken the dollar. When Warren Buffet is betting against the dollar and has been for two years, that can’t be a good thing.
