Kasihan juga kalau pemerintah RI harus beli dollar untuk mempertahankan nilai rupiah terhadap nilai dollar yang sebetulnya nilainya tidak jelas. Hanya berdasarkan kesepakatan para spekulan valas.
Dalam krisis global ini ada baiknya pemerintah mengeluarkan rupiah emas dengan berat 1 gram sehingga bisa berlaku di mana saja sebagai alat penjualan. Emas kita punya banyak. Sementara dollar kita harus mengemis ke Bank Dunia atau IMF. Ini rawan terhadap aksi spekulasi dan pemerasan berupa peningkatan BI rate di mana pemerintah harus mengeluarkan biaya ekstra trilyunan rupiah untuk mempertahankan nilai rupiah terhadap dollar. --- Harry Adinegara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> menulis: > > > > Does it make sense? > > Dikatakan bahwa ulah kekurangang-ajaran imperialis > amrik ini, se-tidak2nya mendapat dukungan secara > tidak langsung oleh Tiongkok.
