The dollar is awful. Ive always admired the pound though. It always seems to balance itself out at a rate that seems to be reasonable when I want it to be. Sod the dollar though. A horrible currency to rely on.

The US Dollar has been worthless since 1913 with the introduction of the Federal Reserve, it is not backed by gold it is 'fiat' money.
JFK was to introduce silver certificates, passed the law and made the federal reserve illegal, assassinated.
Lincoln introduce the greenbacks, didn't want the federal bank, assassinated.
When the US economy collapses Mexico, Canada and America are set to merge to create the North American Union and have the Amero as the new currency, like the Euro.

That's Aaron Russo's film about the federal reserve banking system.

The value of the dollar like every other currency is set by a number of factors not least of which are GDP and money supply. Since the advent of central banking and the beginnings of the global market fixing money to gold levels just became impossible.
The dollar is going to continue going down the toilet while the US keeps printing them at full speed. Bush can pretend all is well and the Treasury Secretary can claim that he's running a strong dollar policy but the foreign exchange markets don't lie.
Well seeing how we're in the biggest debt the world has ever known it makes sense to devalue the dollar to pay off the debt.
Also if you believe in the Amero (a monetary union of Canada, Mexico, and the USA made to counter the Euro) then it would only make sense to devalue the dollar to get the American public behind such a plan....if one exists.
Either way it was bound to happen.....also if you devalue the dollar enough maybe you ease the undocumented migration to the US.
I am not for this because it makes travel impossible but oh well shit happens, the money will come back up in some form

80% of the stuff Wal Mart sells is foreign imports. What happens when you walk into Wal Mart and the price tags make you think you've wandered into Neiman Marcus by mistake ?
What about $10 a gallong gas?
What about double digit interest rates because foreign creditors holding your depreciating dollars demand ever-higher rates of return to keep buying them ?
What about double digit inflation to go with it ?
In a couple of years the economic situation will get to a point where Americans will start paying attention to what's going on in the economy. Hopefully. And more hopefully Lumpy McCain will win the election and continue the same dumbass policies that got us here so that Obama doesn't get the blame and become the new Jimmy Carter.
Vote Lumpy '08.
