Its an argument going back to the 1980s, where you have Reaganomics (supply side, free market, trickle-down) and more traditional economics (marriage of both market and government working together to maintain stability) competing.

Good to know, thanks Will. I only read her book Anthem in high school, never made it around to Fountanhead (which all my conservative friends appear to be reading, hence why it's getting on my nerves).

Yes, sorry... but hey, give it a few more weeks, and we might not need the 0.

Yeah, same here... the dollar sucked ass against the króna until the Bear Stearns bailout, basically. The average rate for last year was 63 krónur to the dollar... now it's up to 93, and climbing. This is partly due to the dollar strengthening compared to the króna (recently), but as of a few days ago... yeah, you should see it against the Euro. The króna has NEVER been this low compared to the Euro, in the last 7 years that the Euro has been in business. 139 króna to the Euro, last I checked.
