. From 1979 to 1982, known as the Volcker shock,[10][11] the U.S. Federal Reserve decided to raise the base interest rate in the United States to 19%. High-interest rates attracted wealthy foreign “hot money” into U.S. banks and caused the U.S. dollar to appreciate. This made U.S. products more expensive for foreigners to buy and also made imports much cheaper for Americans to purchase. The misaligned exchange rate was not rectified until 1986, by which time Japanese imports, in particular, had made rapid inroads into U.S. markets.[12]

If a student gets an “F” in a class because they didn’t study it’s not the teacher’s fault.
Stop blaming the Dems.
The USA going down the tubes wouldn’t affect the billionaire class one bit.
Every read ‘Catch-22?’
“That bastard Hitler is trying to kill me!”
“You idiot! He’s trying to kill everybody!”

Trump kept Fauci in place for the entire crisis. If Fauci was bad at his job, doesn’t that mean Trump failed the country?
