Attention WOW.....Your stupidity level has reached it's maximum. Please try to turn off the biased political talk shows in which are dumbing down Americans and start to think for yourself with the brain that God gave you. Until then you will not be capable of generating a thought in your head , never the less hold a debate with another human being here at AWE.

All the same stuff everyone is complaining about. Now if you bought an overpriced home 1 year ago with nothing down what exactly did you lose? Logically speaking the prices will come down now that there is a greater supply of homes on the market. You lost your home now you will have to save and have a good down payment to buy the next home. What is the problem here, the market is at work. Oh yeah and now you cannot borrow against that house to spend on plasmas, German Ultimate Driving Machines and crap. Too bad.
The lady economist practically admitted that the drop in dollar value is a benefit to the US economy because now we export more. Oh and trips to Europe will be more expensive.
So without sounding rhetorical in my title, tell me what is so wrong with the economy other than we cannot borrow against our homes to buy imported gadgets?
The key to making the U.S. dollar stronger is to pay down the debt and the deficit; and return to a "Demand-Side Economic Policies. Give the tax breaks to those who make $300K down to 12K. The people in this income brackett will take this extra money and put it back into the economy to stimulate a stagnant economy.

To head off a recession or depression....do the following:

Close all the tax loopholes, tax offshore accounts, and repeal the Reagan-Bush tax cuts. Put the money and tax returns into the hands of the people who will spend on durable and non-durable goods and products and the economy will start to boom. Within six years the economy will really start to stabilize.

Reverse the Reagan and Bush deregulation policies and attach tariffs to all products imported into the U.S. by both U.S. companies overseas and foreign countries as well. After all, every Industrialize country in the world have tariff taxes on imports coming into their country, why can't the U.S. do the same.

Give tax breaks to those companies and manufacturers who will keep their businesses and jobs in the U.S. The next President needs to lead by example and get serious about reducing this country dependency on foreign oil, by putting solar panels on the roof of the W.H., and start a GOVERNMENT PROGRAM OF $100-$300 billion Alternative Fuels Program to reduce our oil consumption by 50 percent in 10 to 15 years.

Increase minimum wage to have the same buying power it had back in 1968!!! For those small business owners who can't afford the minimum wage of $12.00 - $13.00 per hour...they weren't ready nor big enough to hire workers in the first place. They need to work their business themselves and hire more relatives and family members to work their businesses until their businesses grow big enough. After all, its easier to pay family and relatives $5-$7 per hour....b/c its easier to under pay your all FAMILY AND RELATED---work them like Rented Mules for low pay and long hours.

Also, start charging taxes to pay for the so called war on Terror. Hell, call it a "Terror War Tax"!! Let's see how many whinny ass so called patriotic conservatard are willing to pay their fare share of taxes on Bush's War on Terror that support so FUCKING MUCH!

I wonder how the avg. wealthy banker, old money, corporatist, and oil companies would be gung-ho to see their taxes going to help pay for all of Bush's wars?

Thats right, make everyone help pay for the Iraq occupation and the Afghanistan police action, instead of charging it on a charge card, the way the Bush Admin. has done over the last 8 years; only to have our grandchildren pay for it. Imagine the individuals earning $1.0 million to 100's billions annually having to pay taxes to help pay for the Iraq war they so allegedly support.....Boy, watch that occupation end really fucking quick.

Oh well....can't say it can't be done in a country that has an annual Gross Domestic Product of of $12-$14 Trillion dollars.

Less money into the market = a below average economy.

American dollar value compared to when it first went into circulation is worth 4 cents.

Countries are dropping or threatening to drop the dollar because of it's weakness.

If i left anything out feel free to add it on.
Cyclical things that will correct with time.
Gas is still cheap in the US. So some will have to get rid of their SUV's. Oh boo hoo, poor poor people cannot drive a 6 litre that gets 11 mpg.
4 cent dollar value? OK, whatever
Drop the dollar? Just what countries use the dollar as their currency? Our main trading partners all have their own currency. They will continue to accept the dollar if they wish to export to this country. If they want lesser expensive products they will use dollars to buy from the US. Cause guess what export is booming.
Honestly I could care less what the dollar value is as long as the price of goods does not go up. From what I see and from what friends in Europe tell me, the price of goods in the US is still low. Check for yourself. It appears that if anyone wants to sell in the US they will have to eat the loss due to currency instability.

I remember a few years back people like you were crying about housing prices and guess what it went down. Do not limit your view on the US economy to 10 years.

The EU has been getting fat from exports to the US. The value of the US dollar is hurting EU exports. This is why Liberals cry about the US economy.
Get it?
Quality of food in EU? WTF lolololo no comment needed
France has the highest rated healthcare system in the world.

Your research is lacking a bit.

You're comparing our economy to other countries economies and saying ours is still good. I'm comparing it to America when America was the country of envy with a strong dollar & the strongest middle class.

Your attitude is "Why should we have it any better than other countries?" while mine is geared more towards "America , once known as the best country second to none is now becoming just another second rate country with an evaporating middle class". Two different perspectives.

I think that WOW prefers the diet of hormones and antibiotics with a side of genetically modified fries.
