The USA is a currency manipulator!! John Snow and Adams are criminals!!

[Gyaos]

Anyone see the report today about the bad retail data, which is also totally bogus!?? The malls in February were packed, the traffic was big and things sold! Wal Mart posted good numbers and then the US Gov says down 1.4%, when January was adjusted to up 2.9%. It doesn't make sense and is all a lie! How do I know?

Because the day before, US Treasury undersecretary Tim Adams goes out and calls Japan a currency manipulator, in essence, just to add fuel to weaken the US dollar before the report showing the retail data and the trade gap data! All a farce!

In my opinion, that is criminal insider trading activity by marking up the books, then coming out with a lie like that! The fact is the USA is a currency manipulator with their bogus war, high oil premiums and huge amounts of $$ going to Katrina and going nowhere. Now I know why Bush Jr. didn't want to help anyone for Katrina, according to that video tape. He wants a weak dollar anytime he can get it! The bigger picture makes sense!!

THE USA IS A CURRENCY MANIPULATOR and the US DOLLAR will strengthen in 2007 because these pigs can't stop it until they print the new $100 bill!! John Snow and Tim Adams need to be arrested!! They are liars saying that "more dollars are needed for conversion" when the strong dollar is helping the USA bigtime!! Go after the health insurance companies and forget about "health savings accounts"....force them to lower rates across the board!! Go after the airlines and their lies about losing money with 15,000 taxes, fees and bogus cuts!! Go after the illegal taxes as these supposed "tax cuts" never make it to individuals and small business!! Issue $50,000 grants to all Americans!! Going after other countries currencies is just a dumb move, like putting terrorists in charge of US Ports, sound familiar??

Election day is November 7th 2006, change this government.

There are so many levels on which this post does not make sense. The U.S. may try to manipulated their currency though such methods as buying and selling foreign exchange, increasing or decreasing the money supply (which has next to nothing to do with the number of $100 bills they print as currency in the hands of the public is a very small part of the money supply and currency held by banks is not a part of the money supply at all). However, they don’t have to use the methods you speak of to manipulate their exchange rate as much more effective methods are available. They may try to manage expectations (the only content of your post that sort of made sense) but that will tend to related to expectations of future monetary and fiscal policy and the resulting effects on the exchange rate. The U.S. dollar will eventually fall but that has to do with the current account deficit being unsustainable. You might want to check the webpages of either the Bank of Canada or the various federal reserves banks in the United States. They have a lot of education resources available that are pretty good.

The truth hurts, OTB. The USA is definately a currency manipulator, if there ever was one.

Um....didn't you realize that all countries pursue fiscal policies that impact their currency? In the case of the US their actions obviously have an impact on other countries/currencies. What's your problem?

The US is lying to push the speculative market infavour against the American people. And they are using bully tactics to manipulate other currencies, by calling them "currency manipulators" when in fact it's the USA, John Snow and that illegal president, George W. Bush Jr. that are the currency manipulators. It's illegal.

Oh yeah "inflation is in check", but they remove the $65.00 oil and the $5 per 2 liter milk. They remove the postage increase. The increase in health insurance. The increase in gas. The increase in heating oil. The increase in college tuition. But, no....."inflation is in check" by rising only .1 percent. Or even better, retail is down 1.5% when Walmart is up 3%. And did you hear? Energy companies have been charging people taxes, then rolling over the collected money into a scheme in which they don't have to pay it, forcing consumers to literally pay double in their energy bills!! INSANE!! Someone in the US governement is cooking the books like Enron in this administration. I've never, EVER, seen fake numbers more than February 2006, just to make a sharp weakening of the US Dollar in order to increase the debt, blame it on SS and medicare all to give the super wealthy OUR money, continue an illegal war, and nuke Iran.

Go ahead, live poor.

I don't think the US has very much control over exchange rates. They are pretty much at the mercy of Asian central bankers who keep lending the US more money to pay for the trade imbalance.

As an interesting sidenote, the mideast oil countries are moving to convert their assets from US to Euros. I wonder how long it will take before the oil is sold in Euros.

Yen 118.90 now 115.70 in 3 days. The USA is a currency manipulator using threats. Impeachment! Impeachment!

 

[steviewonder]

The U.S. doesn't need to weaken their dollar. They are doing it just by continuing to rack up record levels of deficit and debt. The house of cards will begin to topple in the very near future.

The world has been waiiting for the US to collapse since Washington was POTUS...don't hold your breath.

There is one thing analyzing data/following the rules as presented from academic point of view and anther thing recognizing the underlying manipulations / speculations that cook the books under the real life situation !

The point is that there are more effective ways of influencing the exchange rate. Countries don’t have to resort to the nonsense mentioned in the original post. Moreover, the number of $100 bills has next to nothing to do with anything.

"someone" just wants me to respond when he writes "nonsence" and "doesn't make sence" in an abundance. The USA is a currency manipulator, face the facts. When administration members go and face countries with "hey, you're manipulating the currency" BS just before false cooked books are announced, is just as bad as as Imclone CEOs. Those numbers in February were all fake and cooked with CNBC applauding the criminal activity. The February US economy for inflation was way up, but the books were cooked to make it look differently, just so Snow and Adams could attack Japan and China with currency issues THE FUCKING DAY BEFORE! Snow and Adams are criminals!!

I think you don't know anything that you're talking about. When I wrote $100.00 bills, you're lost in space with some diatribe off topic. The US in 2007 is going to flood the US system with new coloured $100 bills to "replace the old ones". At the same time the US Dollar will drop like a rocket as it prices in the old and the new together as a saturation. One bill is a factor of 2 to be counted, not a factor of 1/10 as the $10.00 bill is. Historically, look at the weak dollar when the new $20.00, $50.00 and recently $10.00 bills were introduced. Look at the charts. Why the drop? Because of elections? Wrong. Political tensions? Nope. Revaluation of the Yuan? Incorrect. Because of saturation, threats to other countries, illegal wars by the illegal US government thats says "oh, we knew nothing about it" and naturally UNITED STATES CURRENCY MANIPULATON by John Snow (criminal), Tim Adams (another criminal) and George W. Bush Jr. (criminal) who shake their heads in disagreement in India calling their people Native Americans..

The US is not manipulating the currency? Gold when it was $250.00 and oil at $10.00 is now how much per US Dollar? Who did that? Saddam Huessein? China? BOGUS!

Impeachment of George W. Bush Jr.! He wants the US Dollar weak to stop Americans from getting laid. That way his evangelists can make money with lies, bullshit and secret masturbation sessions in closets.

Look guy, I’m not going to debate you as you are not in a position to debate me. Part of my job is to teach this stuff. I have no intention of spending much time trying to educate you for free. Your nonsense about the number of $100 bills is actually funny. You could double the number of $100 bills and it will not significantly affect the money supply as they are a small proportion of the money supply. Google M1 and M2 and you can see for yourself. As I said before, there are some good educational materials in the websites of the federal reserve banks. Try spending a little time educating yourself. At the very least, try to learn what money is.

Edit: I'm not sure why I spent any time on this but for a link related to the small role currency plays in the money supply see http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/backgrounders/bg-m2.html
If you check the numbers on this page (http://www.bankofcanada.ca/pdf/wfs.pdfhttp://www.bankofcanada.ca/pdf/wfs.pdf) you will find that currency in circulation (including both $100 bills and all other notes and coins) only represents about 6% of M2. The American numbers would be similar but I don't have a link the them handy.
For other educational stuff see http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/backgrounders/index.html and http://www.bankofcanada.ca/en/about/edu.html
If you hunt around the Bank of Canada's web page (or those of American Federal Reserve banks) you will find much more educational stuff, but this can get you started.

This is my only free lesson. If you don't like it, go on believing what you want.

I know & I agree with you that there are effective methodologies to do that but my point was that in the absence of official policies, single-minded officials may still try to indirectly or criminally apply there influence on the situation.
Not exactly, the same but in many ways that is why we now have what is called "Sarbanes-Oxley Act" in terms of protecting investors & enforcing securities laws from deceitful corporate executives.

I don’t disagree but in this case it seems to me that if the Bush administration (the other poster claims Bush is behind this) wanted a lower exchange rate, it would be much easier to appoint someone to the Federal Reserve who would lower (or at least not increase) interest rates. They just had an opportunity to do that. After all, there is nothing illegal about using monetary and fiscal policy to try to keep the value of the dollar low. As others on this board know, I consider Bush to be a complete fool. Yet, even he should have advisers smart enough to advise him on this issue. However, in general I see where you're coming from and I guess we are not really in disagreement.

Don't let it fool you. It's drafted by same people that cooked Enron's books. All smoke and mirrors for U.S. Joe Blow.

You don't know what a debate is and you are pretty much absent minded as a "professor". Are you having sex with any of your students? That would be the FIRST thing I would do, so long as they are 18 to 28, no boyfriends, not overweight.

The day you know anything about currency, you won't be teaching the stuff. That's why your resource of The Bank of Canada is not only a joke, but a ripoff institution (with the inclusion that all US banks are ripoff insititutions). Why don't you apply for a job there, because you appear to fail your own "tests".
