President Bush's news conference yesterday did little to lessen concerns over the deficits, Wall Street analysts and currency traders said. Bush simultaneously promised not to raise taxes under the guise of tax simplification, to pursue a costly restructuring of Social Security and to cut the budget deficit in half by 2009.

The currency markets aren't buying it, said William G. Gale, an economist at the Brookings Institution.

White House officials "have Alan Greenspan to help keep interest rates down, but they can't control the foreign exchange markets," Gale said. "I think investors are acting appropriately."

So if the American dollar collapses or at least plunges badly, that will be a true slap in the Americans' face. Let's see how the Bush-heads stay true to their leader, should this happen.

1. There's no excuse for that kind of grossness.

I would expect that from a hard drinking right winger, but not from an intellectually competent Democrat.

2. Grossness goes beyond partisanship

;)

But seriously, I needed to get that off my chest.

3. Fine. You got it off your chest. How about editing the thread title.

Please.
