I think Lee should be drug tested because he is clearly high on something.

What a windbag. If he has the means, why not do it?

I don't consider this current rate as stable. Tons of people are suffering b/c of it as we speak.

Just on the news. Any product with flour, sugar, or milk in it, expect the price to rise this or next week.

The longer he is President, the more obvious it becomes that he doesn't know what the hell he is doing.

I shudder to think what would happen if oil prices skyrocket again...

A foreign economist I know here said it best. If they are going to arrest Minerva from spreading "false" information about the economy, they should be arresting 2MB for spreading much "falser" information about the economy.

(Edited for police emailing me after my first post, apparently I can't criticize the government)

Well they could always reduce the tariffs on imported flour and sugar. Don't hold your breath though.

There will be a painful period during the time between oil prices rising again on speculation and Korea's exports picking up again.

If the state of the won is reduced to bland statements from the president then I think no one is at the helm.

Just let us know if they give you internet access from your jail cell with your rice and kimchi.
