And since this is Bernanke's annual the economy is improving tour...need I remind you of Tour 2007 and Tour 2008 where similar rah-rah pep talks where cheerfully dispensed and cheerfully reported by a gushing media...and turned out to be BS. Or have you forgotten your 401k's?

PS: At some point the inflationary dollar will collide with the plunging home prices to the point where owners will simply refuse to sell below a certain point. As inflation increases this point will rise and allow the economic pundits to cheer---"see home prices are rising!" When in fact prices are at their true value and increases in price are due to devaluation in value of the dollar.

All you dollar saving foreigners now is getting to be the time to exchange that soon to be worthless cash for real property in the USA.
