This gets my vote! While I think we can roll back some of the obscene regulatory provisions that Enron pushed for, I think we should be treating the underlying causes of the weak dollar instead of the symptoms.

Do you know what this reminds me of, the Titanic!
The ship / (US dollar) is sinking. That is the *cause*.
The people / (speculators) running off into lifeboats and moving their money into commodities is the *symptom*.
//
If the dollar is going down to hell b/c the USA can't keep it's financial house in order *cause*
I see nothing wrong with dumping the dollar and putting my money into safer assets like commodities. *symptom*
//
Anybody who says I do not have the right to financial self defense can kiss me where the sun doesn't shine.
Furthermore anyone who makes such a statement should put their money where their mouth is and stay on that sinking ship!
BTW I have this theory there isn't enough lifeboats for all of us. :twisted:
