The yen has reached an astonishing high against the US dollar. This is not good for Japanese exports and not good for the US either. How long before the big Japanese investors in the US dollar begin pulling their investment? Or for that matter those other investors in the Asian block from who the US have loaned to keep their economy afloat for these past decades, pull their investments?

The collapse of world capitalism is very likely now over the peak and picking up pace. Now is the time to consider the sane alternative.

why not lend $15 to car companies who made equally bad decisions.

taniwha: The Japanese can not the take the money they have in dollars in the US, if they did that would cause the yen to strengthen even more. They have know this for 30 years now that's why the money has been left there. The US knows this too, they know they have this money to use whenever they want because if the Japanese took it back it would cause a yen strengthen.
