But the primary reason for wanting the dollar to become more competitive in the near future is that we may need an increase in exports this year and in 2007 to sustain the economy's current pace of expansion.

Even if the dollar does decline during the coming months, the delays in the response of exports and imports to the more competitive dollar will mean that the increase in aggregate demand from this source may not happen for a year or more.

After all, an overvalued dollar gives us the ability to buy foreign goods at lower prices. And the existing volume of exports brings more yen and euros than they would if the dollar were more competitive.

The good news is that a competitive dollar in the global market and a strong dollar at home are compatible in both the long run and during the transition to a more competitive dollar.

But because we in the United States finance our current account deficit by borrowing in our own currency, we can move to a more competitive dollar without the adverse effects that followed currency declines in other countries.

Trade-cycle
In a competitive market
National economy rolls like a wheel
In economics it is called trade-cycle
From economic recovery to boom
To slump to recovery to boom
Is a common phenomenon
In a competitive market
The boom does not last long
Because
The demand for products and services
Is limited in all countries
That’s why
The governments have a vital role to play
Especially during boom
The governments should monitor
And control industrial development
As much as possible
With a view to reduce labor cut
During slump
And they should hinder
Harmful investment
For the economy
During boom
Moreover
They should provide guidelines
For the entrepreneurs
During recovery
So that suitable investments
For the economy take place
In this way
A country can achieve its goal
Without going through
Economic hard times

Where we have the choice between putting a dollar against those that are going to advance horizontal integration and those that are going to sustain current capability, we'd rather put them against the horizontal integration activity.

If the Federal Reserve pursues a strong dollar at home while the dollar becomes more competitive in global markets, we can achieve both price stability and a more balanced path of economic growth.

We Are Converging
Wanting to be heard.
Wanting to be valued.
Wanting to be acknowledged.
Wanting to sustain a way of life...
Fading.
To emerge once again and surge.
Wanting to be admired.
Wanting most to be thought as best!
Wanting to imprint an impression...
That conflicts and unrest,
Did not from them initiate...
The perpetuating of protests.
Nor did the rise of destruction, fear and insecurities...
Leave this world in a chaotic mess.
We are converging!
And peace...
Will be the final test.
Many want.
Many wish.
Many hope to fill all hearts with love.
Instead of a digressive emptiness.

Support Our Troops
Crotchety old insane homeboy
with the scraggly ass beard
got holes in his socks, shoes, and his heart
and that ain't no metaphor -
guy is deteriorating.one piece at a time
Got his life in a shopping cart
but you know they don't even let
him into shops/
even if
he's got some cash from
telling people god bless as they had him
change
If they got any because man - this debit card plastic economy
hurt our street economy pretty bad
Funny thing about this guy is 'he's got no faith left'
so each time he tells you
god bless
he's left wondering
exactly what
he means
he's gotten a bad wrap
and you tell him get a job?
you ever stand on concrete for hours getting a
quarter
3 dimes
a dollar bill
and rude sneers all day?
job? man finding a place to go to the bathroom
with out some cop wanting to book you that's a job
you never probably thought about
Best of all the man is a veteran
came back all shell shocked with no support
so all your little
car magnets saying you support this guy who don't even own a
car show you for the hypocrite you are!
I was in the army too desert storm man
so what now? look the other way fool.
Each time I see him he looks that much worse so
He's one of the few guys I got no problem with sharing a bottle
even if he never
has anything to
kick down in return
man I hope that's not my future.

The Great future
The great future,
The great future is my awakening,
In all that is done under the sun,
You really meant to come and give me redemption,
This is the only great reason that I never fail,
Let me abide by your word,
In all that is done under the sun,
You will make me grow and never fail,
Since this is that definition of life,
You made that great future for me,
Let me increase in all my understanding about life,
I can never under-estimate the beauty of life,
This is the reason that I awake and never fail,
Bless my soul,
Let me see that you are making my waking than sleeping.

No reason to live
I have no reason to live.
Wanting revenge has gone.
Whats the point of wanting
Wanting what you cant have?
I've never had the reason to live.
Lost the will.
Lost the hopeless fight.
What reason do I have to live?
None no reason atall
