I find it interesting that Obama has an issue with China’s “undervalued currency” but has absolutely no understanding of the effect of pumping 600 billion dollars into our economy. I am not an economics genius, ( though I play one on TV ) but a soup analogy is in order.
Nice segue, huh?
Let‘s say it’s a blustery fall afternoon, and you’re making a nice pot of homemade chicken soup. Makes the house smell nice, and warms the tummy. You taste it it, and it seems a bit weak. So, because you’re a soup making genius, you decide the best course is to add more water. Yeah. That’s what any soup making genius would do, right? So, you taste it again, and oddly enough, it seems WEAKER. This is baffling, no? So, once again, as the soup making genius that you are, you add EVEN MORE WATER. When you taste it again, it’s now so weak, it’s hardly edible.
Next course of action? Serve the soup, and blame its weakness on the previous soup maker!
WOW. Maybe I AM a genius! Economics and soup making walk hand in hand!!! Who’da thunk it!
You may not be an economic genius, but your soup analogy is spot on.
