Is the Japanese Government Printing a Lot of Yen?

The dollar is about ten to 20 % more expensive. The government has the power to change the ball game, ind to warp market relationships by printing money. In a rational world there would be no way to fiddle with the relationship between you, the seller, and the purchaser in japan who wants to buy your wishets. But not in a world of nation states. That's an irrational world.
