Fiat Lucre!

Let there be cash!

It’s very difficult to dredge up any sympathy for American snivelers who wail about “foreign currency manipulation” or “currenc[ies] that [are] artificially weak.” To make sympathy even harder, these pampered plutocrats propose to respond to foreign central banks aping the Federal Reserve’s schtick (and industrious foreign entrepreneurs offering us great deals) by siccing their pet legislators onto the American consumer with additional tariffs.

For a century the F’eral Reserve has been the king of currency manipulation, and as the century wore on other central banks realized that they too could foist such offenses onto their captive markets. Who do they think they are? Americans?
