FUCK!!!

thats my point...how is your money worth more when this crap is going on? it should be going the other way around...80 cents not 120 cents...for a dollar.

Status: offline 		Sorry to point it out to those whose greatest wish is for the dissolving of the US - Be it ever so mocked and ridiculed; there is no better (more secure) place for capital than the good old US of A.

Of course we're moving more and more to a more social direction where that won't be the case. Note the 'trial balloon' being inflated regarding US Government ownership of financial institution. Yup - the same Government that's never successfully run anything. The answer regarding any subject to the question; "how can it get any worse?" Involve the Government.

Edited to add another colorful metafor...

The global economy may sink like the 'Titanic', but written on the bow where Jack & Rose are hanging on the railing will be 'USA'.

Status: offline 		Actually a strong Canadian dollar hurts us more than us "US tourists" think.  Our manufacturing/labour industry depends on a lower Canadian looney...which in reality is good for us canucks and enchances our "social benefits" eh....  While Merc may have a point on the "good ole US of A".............the bigger they are, the harder they fall.......particularly when they lack any humility.

I hate to tell you but....$1.33 against the Euro (as opposed to $1.59 barely months ago) means the dollar is becoming more valuable against world currencies...not less.

Touche!  Someone who understands the difference between a STRONGER dollar versus the Euro and $Cdn
and a WEAK dollar.  Those people who think that a dollar going from $155 to $133 vs the Euro and 133 to 93 against the $Cdn  is weakening must have missed that class in currency valuation.

Status: offline 		I hope all those outside the US are not hurt by the change in the value of the dollar...BUT..as a  St Louis native I am happy with the change. The InBev Budweiser deal may bite the dust...Even if it doesn't the greedy  stockholder bastards that sold out their country will take a hell of a hit.

Damn if the Dollar to Euro ratio keeps going the way its headed..maybe Anheuser Bush will buy InBev...what a hoot that would be.
