Weak sauce.

Hasn't the pound historically been around twice the value of a dollar? This doesn't seem surprising at all to me.

But isn't the British economy sucking?

I think that it used to be 1 UK pound = $1.80 US on average.

I'm not sure how this really impacts me as someone who lives in the US and doesn't travel, though. I really haven't noticed prices going up faster than usual, anyway.

Kinda, but they aren't dropping interest rates to save it.

Well then. Looks like they've figured out the magic bullet that solves all woes. Everything will come up roses for them.

Edit: Misread your post. Thought you said they ARE dropping interest rates to save it. My sarcasm was wasted. Dang.

No, it's not.
You're confusing Britain with France, and Italy.

didn't bush just ask for 46 billion more for the war in Iraq two weeks ago? How can politicians not worry about something like this? Do they simply believe that exports are going to help bring the dollar back up? I can't reason this out in my head as to why this isn't a huge issue for our government to be addressing and why it isn't getting more attention in the news. When people like giselle bundchen (super model) are being advised to no longer accept US currency and peter schmidt is only investing international and advising others to do so it makes me extremely worried for the regular joe like me.

 

[Parasitic]

So is somebody going to post another one of those $1 USD = fractions of some other currency threads every hour now?

They are also living on borrowed time, literally. Their credit cycle is a little ahead of ours, but not much. Just wait.
