The US dollar is in a free-fall right now, with the Euro and Pound reaching record highs against it.

The US voters will reap what they sow.

I didn't vote for him, why should I pay?

And is it surprising that lowlife redneck scum with no money management skills votes for a redneck that has no money management skills?

The poor and uneducated breed faster than the rich and educated. It's only going to get worse. They're the majority and they'll vote for some backwards nedneck who doesn't believe in evolution and relies on faith to get him through instead of a well thought-out plan.

you can thank the "war on terror" for this.

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

gotta protect what got him elected

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.

They belong overseas. It's just a phase. Why would this reduce our real wages? Are you just pulling crap out of your butt? Manufacturing jobs will always move to cheaper areas, and if you think American manufacturing has an edge, then show me. However, you can be confident that defense and medical industries will stay in the US. That is why I'm in the medical devices business . Stop whining about outsourcing. Even if you're referring to EE and CS jobs. Bachelors degrees don't cut it anymore. You had security back in the 80s and 90s, but not anymore. Without an MS or PhD you're a nobody in this technical world.

As for manufacturing.. since when was manufacturing a highly regarded job anyways? I could care less about this nation losing blue collar workers to overseas. It just means everyone needs to get a freaking education.

Really sucks for me, I work for a US company but live in Canada. I get paid in USD. Taking a big loss right now. The worst part is that my bank gives me less than the post rate, so I'm only getting ~2 cents on the dollar

I was in the same situation, and my savings are still in US dollar... no way I am converting them back to CDN until the rate comes back up...

 

[pradeep1]

The US Dollar has been weakening for the past few months against most major and minor currencies. It is really putting the squeeze on imported products. Of course it has not moved much against the Chinese Yuan, go figure.

 

[rh71]

good, I was getting worse at math anyway.

Thank you, thank you all. I was sitting there ignoring the emails and phonecalls at work when I saw this thread and it just hit me. I tried to get first reply, but that other bastard baghead got to it before I did.

 

[Skacer]

So how come canadian quarters don't work in the fucking vending machines.

 

[0roo0roo]

good.

i'm tired of seeing bland canadian cities trying to be stand ins for us cities. it just looks rather lame. this will stop runaway production to canada...you know, films and tv trying to save money because of the cheap canadian money cheap no more!

 

[Sc4freak]

I'm actually quite happy with the plumetting US dollar. Living in Australia, it means that the stuff that I buy from the US is cheaper.

Not too long ago the Aussie dollar was trading in at about US$1 = AU$2.

Now it's at US$1 = AU$1.13. We're not very far off the Canadians.

How is that going to force China to float if their currency is pegged to the US dollar?
Hypothetically speaking, 20USD:5yuan and 4USD:1yuan are still the same ratio and makes no difference.

The idea that it would force the Japanese yen to float is wishful thinking...
Toshiba, Cannon, Toyota, Honda, Sony, Nintendo, and many Japanese heavyweights are making a killing profit of the weak yen/dollar.

Sure it makes our exports cheaper...but good luck in forcing a currency float.

 

[Casawi]

I would worry more about the EURO... Canada, US same flipping thing.

 

[0roo0roo]

why euro? same deal happens there, it hurts their exports.
