Here's Why Asia Must Eventually Ditch the Dollar

Please don't politicize the already dire economic circumstances the U.S. is in. President Obama did not create this situation; his administration stepped under a falling anvil. Does the author truly want the current, or any, Administration to "reflate the burst consumer bubble"? SeekingAlpha readers and writers should remember that the deficit is huge because first, *no one* in government came up with a better approach than a Keynsian deluge and second, the new deficit accounting finally includes war costs and all the rest. Again and again, the more political postings here are, the less useful or insightful.

Obama's Trade Battle Explained

This is indeed a mistake of the left. But there could be a more reasoned discussion on all these economic issues if the right would not so blindly and violently attack every necessary non-conservative idea. At this point, health care reform is desperately needed by us small business owners to stay afloat. The right has no ideas and offers zero cooperation with policy exploration. Why should Obama discuss anything with them? Their record for dialogue is Joe Wilson, and to them post-partisanship is anathema. All the right suggests is caps on doctors' malpractice claims. The left-ish CA legislature already passed that. Seeking Alpha readers, who are overwhelmingly conservative, should get their representatives to move past this mindless, extreme partisanship. When there's some cooperation from the right, I am certain Obama will listen and guide a far more moderate trade policy.
