How much will taxpayers shoulder?

[Zenda]

However, if I've learned anything about international money markets vs. government monetary policy, it's that their interactions are non-obvious, extremely complicated, theoretically uncertain, and even hindsight is not 20/20. What I can say is that unless you've got a good coherent set of data, you're not even at square one.

I don't think that the people who make a living from money markets, in whatever capacity, are much smarter as for example you and me. It's all based on speculation, after all. While predicting outcomes may be impossible, it should'nt be too difficult to understand at least some of the processes involved.

Your explanation on the China issue sounds fair enough, but I think you should reconsider even the slight accusation on monetairy manipulations. My response to Kandrathe might help.
