I'm no economist, but I can tell you that those of us outside the US who have to buy local currency with dollars are being STRANGLED by the drop in value. I've calculated the increase in prices on everything we buy to be about 23% higher than six months ago. Ouch! Ow!

Yea that is down side of a rapidly falling currency, everyone gets a paycut. You, living overseas, see it first, but we living in the usa will feel it in a few months. But Yall are taking a double hit since the nation you live in most likely does not allow cheap import to flood it's market, so you don't get to to buy cheap chicom junk at wallmart.
