Geithner Vows to Defend Strong U.S. Dollar Policy

What is this guy smoking, or does he just like to lie?  Today, Timmy made the following statement at a New York conference organized by the Council of Foreign Relations: "United States would never follow a strategy to weaken the US dollar.  Our policy has been and will always be, as long as I will be in office, that a strong dollar is in the interest of the country.  We will never embrace a strategy to weaken the dollar."

I find his statement completely detestable.  In the year to date, the dollar has lost 6.5% of its value compared with a basket of currencies held by our major trade partners.
