Political commentators have a way with twisting their facts to make a point and the Washington Post today is a hilarious example.
The story is about Mitt Romney potentially devaluing the US dollar.
Poland, Sweden, Australia and Switzerland have done much better than peer countries since the crisis hit and, unsurprisingly, their currencies have been devalued more than the U.S. dollar
The column even comes with a fancy graphic showing an epic decline in the Australian dollar.
But wait, as any forexlive reader knows, the Australian dollar at record highs?
The writer has the chart upside down, same with the Swiss franc and Swedish krona — both of which are also near record highs.
