p.s i honestly doubt bush has the capability to even understand whats going on, much less manipulate it.

But he DOES always tout the "deregulation" angle, before you let him off the hook entirely.

Sane and just regulation would seem like a good thing to me right about now.

Don't mind Adam Smith, he was just some guy with WACKY ideas about a free market and spontaneous order. HORRENDOUS!

Adam Smith had some nice theories.

IN THEORY communism worked.

you're quoting a direct exchange rate basically showing how much american dollars you can buy with a canadian dollar. since you can buy more american dollars with a single canadian dollar it means that the canadian currency is more valuable.

^I just said that 4 times in a row and she still didn't get it.

I'm giving up.

Dear god... this is probably one of the easiest concepts to grasp. I could understand mistaking it while in a rush to post. But to get it wrong, then actively defend it as people are putting it in terms that a four year old could understand.

That's a special kind of stupid.
