In a previous post I mocked Micheal Cullen's (NZ finance minister) proposal
for the NZ reserve bank to manage the exchange rate.
Since then the value of the $NZ has dropped against the $US, making me look
foolish and Cullen clever.
As America's Vietnam expedition was becoming a quagmire in 1966, Vermont
Senator George Aiken famously said that the US should "declare victory and go
home."
I recommend the Micheal Cullen follow the same strategy. The future is
uncertain. The taxpayers will be better off if Cullen continues to look
clever and I foolish.
Boop-boop-de-do Marilyn
