PBS you are to be congratulated for the coesmrhenpive analysis of the unperceived monitary movements that started our present dilemma. With Chinas extraordinary liquidity seeking return on investment, the U.S. deficit was the perfect place to invest their surpluses. With over 10 million millionaires world wide, cash poured into investments guaranteed to beat the odds. With the international capital markets awash with money no wonder it eventually gravitated to booming housing-market derivatives. When the deck of cards was exposed to be unstable and untenable the precipitous withdrawal of funds invested in these instruments pulled the rug out from under the asset values and we are in a recession. Sounds like what billionaires have been doing to currencies of less developed countries for decades, only now, its been done to us.
