thanks Amezarak, good points. i think striving for net exporter is only a race to the bottom if you use one tool to get there. but if a country innovates their way there, is it not a race to the top? germany finally bent a bit letting the eurozone printing money. i like to see it as germany trying to steer the eurozone into real economic growth rather than fake growth (unleashing new money at a low interest rate(. everyone is applauding the us econmic recovery, but it is not real growth, and they will have to pay the debt piper some day. i generally agree universities are bloated and to expensive, gravy trains for some, huge financial burdens to most. i was a community college kid who transferred to a 4 year.
