Government reports showing the U.S. current-account deficit widened to a record last quarter and foreigners purchased fewer U.S. assets than forecast in April also weighed on the currency. ``This was a very tough week for dollar bulls,'' said Michael Woolfolk, senior currency strategist at Bank of New York in New York. ``The $1.20-per-euro mark was within sight, but with weak reports, including the current-account deficit, it became impossible to support further gains.'' Against the euro, the U.S. currency fell 1.4 percent to $1.2286 at 5 p.m. yesterday in New York, http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...00&refer=japan |

"A hyperpower is a powerful country that is vastly stronger than any potential rival. Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has been the world's only superpower. The unique position of the United States (at least in terms of military force) will lead it to seek to ensure permanent dominance and, ultimately, global control through advanced military technologies, such as space weaponry, that would be virtually impossible to defend against. The United States Department of Defense has outlined a program to achieve "Full-spectrum dominance" in their Joint Vision 2020 document." -- And don't you ever doubt it you 300 pound gerbil stuffing fat****. --- Guvner, a 300 pound grease caked gerbil stuffer <http://img147.echo.cx/img147/7369/guvnor4pn.jpg>: "why go to a pub, down 10 pints of beer and get into a fight, when you can take ecstasy, go to a rave and meet hundreds of beautiful people" "George \"Pops\" Foster" > Message-ID: > addressing Nick the Guvner: "All I've noted was how sarah ridiculed you yet again." |

"Within 20 years, the Chinese economy will probably be larger than that of the United States. Already China's geopolitical influence has grown along with its economic might." "Moreover, the Chinese central bank is financing the massive US trade deficit by $1 billion a day. Without those loans, US interest rates would spike upward. Interest rates on mortgages would rise, hitting housing sales, and raising costs for millions of homeowners." ""This is a huge deal," says Clyde Prestowitz, president of the Economic Strategy Institute in Washington. "We are on life-support from China's central bank."" "The US will have to adjust to deal with another major power," says Mr. Prestowitz. "So far we are in a kind of denial." "Last Friday, China and the European Union reached a friendly agreement curtailing certain Chinese textile exports. Chinese negotiator Bo Xilai indicated China's preference for such a negotiated deal, rather than the US unilateral caps on China's textile exports. He reportedly cited a Chinese saying: "If you respect me by an inch, I'll respect you by a foot."" http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0616/p16s01-cogn.html |
