Can you name a country a "currency manipulator" if they are not actually manipulating their currency anymore?

Of course you can, though it may piss off the people who are also buying your 'national debt'.

They already stopped buying but the Treasury auctions didn't miss a beat.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

I call it: Obama on a split decision.

I say draw.  Both guys landed good punches, both guys looked bad at times.

Which means that it's a definite Obama win. :lol:

I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I missed that, thanks.

So is it now ok to attack the Chinese ?

That's what we've come to. Obama is awake so he wins? No wonder our country is in such a state. ;)

And there's your 47% mushroom cloud.

:huh:

He dropped it at the end, when Mittens had no ability to respond.  That was right in his wheelhouse.  The Mets apple went up, the Comisky fireworks went off, etc.
