Geithner’s Giant Gaffe: Goodbye Greenbacks?

All a laughable misunderstanding? that’s what the rest of the article says.  But even so, very, very frightening.

As if the dollar didn’t have enough problems, Timothy Geithner took China’s bait yesterday and said he was “quite open” to its suggestion this week to displace the greenback with an “international reserve currency.” The dollar promptly fell and stocks followed, before the Treasury Secretary re-emerged to say “the dollar remains the world’s dominant reserve currency. I think that’s likely to continue for a long time.”
