Let's play the Paulson "strong dollar" drinking game
Paul Kedrosky has a great idea that The Plunge Protection Team Blog wholeheartedly endorses:
I think we need to create a drinking game around U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson. Feel free to add subprime/bailout/SIV items, but here some of mine around U.S. dollar policy:
- When Paulson says he has been "very clear" about the dollar, take a drink
- When Paulson says "A strong dollar is in our nation's interests", chug the drink
Now the only major problem we see with this game is that besides being crazy-drunk within a short period of time, we'll also be so broke due to the crashing dollar that we won't be able to afford the imported scotch we like.
