Bob Chapman wrote on the International Forecaster of the 27th October 2010 :  "....We have seen the Fed subtly inject money and credit into the system since early June. That is five months of deception. Easing is obviously here to stay. Mr. Geithner requested certain caps on trade surpluses by not allowing them in excess of 4% of FGDP, which was shunted aside. This is a request for a soviet style command economy. Just another wacky idea. This means the only avenue left is an increase of $8 trillion in QE2. A deliberate reduction in the value of the dollar, zero interest rates, double-digit fiscal deficits and inflation and massive monetization of fiscal debt. That means real trouble for dollar holders. It is no wonder that countries are already erecting barriers to dollar investment in their countries by taxing incoming dollar investments. There has been little productive investment to rebalance a maladjusted economy. How can there ever be rebalancing without tariffs on goods and services. This is what free trade, globalization, offshoring and outsourcing have brought us. Yes, the US is a basket case when we are looking at a possible $500 billion current account deficit this year. This is the result of policies that has all the earmarks of a banana republic. That result has been followed to enrich transnational conglomerates. How can you compete when you have de-industrialized and put 8.5 million people out of work?...."
