Then there are those who shall Adamantly Deny that a big culprit in the 
rise of SPTC model prices is the exchange rate~!~!~!~!~!

It is said here in USA that if the People Lead the Govt will Follow    
----    but Maybe it is Actually the Udder way around.      Govt.  
*Prints*  money at will  (so consider its value)  and they have thrown 
away the Gold Standard because such a standard Forces Discipline and if 
it is AnyThing that PollyTicians hate it is Discipline  --  unless they 
are Dishing It Out.     Thus our society is built on debt and people 
have followed that lead  --  get many CCs, max them out at all times, 
make only the minimum payment and live High on the Hog.       People 
take out 2nd mortgages and maybe more on the house as they see it as a 
bank full of money, even though they still owe on it  --  this has been 
pushed to the max as well.     Debt is almost equivalent to Assets  
*In--Practice*  --  certainly not by daffynition, or is it~?~!~?~!~?

I know people who make an Extremely Good Case that the Fed Reserve is 
illegal and unconstitutional  --  but try to get it changed.
