If you look at commodities (Gold, Lead, Copper, Oil, etc), you can see that they have typically risen 400% in the last 8 years under Bush. That is the real world effects of a Weak Dollar.

Soon China, at their leasure, will equalize labor costs between the USA and China. Given the Weak Dollar, this will mean you will be paying $100 for a toaster at Wal-Mart. FED Bernake will love this huge inflation, as it will effectively reduce the huge National Debt that Bush created.

Your savings will be worthless. You will be 3rd world poor.

Bingo....You nailed it

But hey..look at the bright side, exports of American made plastic bushes will be thriving !
