He seems to be doing a fairly good job after a slow start. I think mistakes will be made but we need to try

He just blurted out without any proof whatsoever that China was manipulating their currency. That tells me he is a low class liar. Now how is it possible for any country to "manipluate" their currency ? If that was possible we would be doing it instead of all the inflation we're getting ! Besides even if it was possible to "manipulate" one's currency, WHAT DO WE CARE -- the Chinese currency is forbidden to leave China ! It's worthless outside China ! So he is not only a liar, he is also very ignorant about he'stalking about !

a person that does not pay his income tax and share the load of all americans should be deported to a country that does not have an income tax.
