I hope the value of the dollar starves the nasty Europeans.

Bullshit!

you're not spinning your way out of your claimed support for
NAFTA because it makes you extra money.

Europe has nothing to do with the topic.

Are you with me on this....The connection between the weak dollar and exports ?

If a weak dollar is a policy failure and it helps the trade deficit, how can the weak dollar be a failed policy? LOL
Have you ever seen a dog chase it's tail?

It is not even possible, that an adult human can be so amazingly stupid as you.

Do you really not understand that while incresing exports, which is marinally positive, the weak dollar creates dozens more problems that far outweigh the benifits produced by exports ?

Are you posting from a group home day room or something ?

Well, I could careless about the Socialist countries that survive on their exports to the US, they will have to compete or go bankrupt.

What Stupid makes a stand cannot comprehend is that companies such as Bentonville, AR based Wal-Mart are creating international markets. Wal-Mart opened 27 stores in China last year, 16 in Brazil, 8 in Argentina, etc.

To a brain-dead leftist, Wal-Mart, Intel, Microsoft et al, are "evil." These mental midgets deride the trade deficit, but attack US companies - never comprehending that these groups they hate are the real and only answer to the trade imbalance.

The weak dollar will bankrupt you. How?

First you have to realize that the only thing that has kept the price of products down the last several years is Chinese labor. We have transisitioned from $800/week to $4/week assembly labor for products.

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.

Then these Chinese will be like these Socialists in Europe, they will be crying about Americans not buying their exports.

How does the lower value of the USD increase the demand for gold?

Given the Weak Dollar, this will mean you will be paying $100 for a toaster at Wal-Mart.
Tell me, how does the value of the USD affect USD only transactions?

Note: I have recently purchased some products made in Europe and the price is the same it was several years ago when the US dollar was almost equal to the Euro in value. Do you think that could be because these products were sold on an exchange of US dollars? Yes or No?
BTW, my savings will not be worthless in America.
