Hallo.

Und genau das treibt den Dollar nach oben (weil die Leute wie wild 30-j- Bonds kaufen) und den Euro, obwohl Maastricht-Vorgaben bestehen, nach unten.

Wir haben es also mit einer verkehrten Welt zu tun. Der Gute (= Währung eines weniger verschuldeten Staatswesens) wird bestraft, der Böse belohnt.

Ist die Schallmauer der Logik mal durchbrochen, so geht die Sonne im Westen auf und im Osten unter; der Regen strömt von unten nach oben; der Kaiser läuft nackt und seine Hofnarren in herrlichen Gewändern...

So lebt es sich leicht und ungeniert;-)
