Goddamn it. :|

This really sucks for us in Canadian companies with an international scope. A small majority of our clients are American, and because of this we're not making nearly as much money as we used to. Manufacturing, textiles and other industries aren't particularly pleased either.

Its more like Bush is letting the dollar freefall to help US exports, while hurting consumers.

:confused:

making the dollar fall will (hopefully) force the chinese to float the yuan. and (hopefully) the japanese float the yen. with respect to other places, greater exports should help drive jobs back to the US, including service and manufacturing (as US labor becomes more competitive on the world market).

While at the same time, effectivly reducing our real wages. Also, service and manufacturing jobs won't come back. They work for pennies to the dollar over in India/China.
