This just makes our products cheaper for the Euro-weenies.

Yes... The Democrats are that scary... :-( /sarc

The systematic collapse of the dollar continues.

[PeterFinn]

Let the dollar collapse and then let's have a few years of double-digit inflation to erase personal debts at the expense of the bankers who created the mess to begin with. It'll also be good to correct our trade imbalances as foreign goods become more expensive (without tariffs to piss off the free trade worshippers) and our exports become cheaper on the world market. It'll also lessen the value of the $2 trillion of our debt that China is holding.

Free trade=weak dollar.

Look for a glut of euro-tourists coming to the US in '07.

[Ben Mugged]

I'm no economist but doesn't this translate to a reduction in the trade deficit? Isn't that a good thing?

[TET1968]

New York City should be happy.
More "Tourists".
More Blue chip Real Estate will be sold to foreigners.

Guess there won't be a lot of Americans vacationing in Europe. It was bad enough when we were in Italy (Euro's) and England (pounds) few weeks ago, I beleive at that time Euro's were 1.3 and Pounds were 1.87 spent way tooo much while I was there because of it.

But the dollar has continued to fall this week

It has backed off a little today. Bulk gasoline is up a little but nothing is going over the cliff right now.

[Pox]

Oh yes, let's howl about the 'weak' dollar and push the Democrats into screaming for tax increases here at home to 'help' reduce the 'deficits' so that poor Europe won't have to lose yet more import business to the U.S., after all, that's basically what all this current howling is about.

Poor Europe, it hurts so good!

By simply reading the title, i knew it was either you, Hydroshock or ex-texan posting this article.

You 3 are the ignorant Dicsiples of Willie Green, without the high-speed rail.

It's Pelosi's fault!

[Porterville]

So our exports are more available to the world.... and this is bad how?

[ex-Texan]

U.S. economic growth in Q4 of 2006 is projected to be 0% . . . So says famous economist Nouriel Roubini. He is also predicting the mother of all recessions beginning next year. Welcome to the New World Order.

[dfwgator]

Pelosi's Fault.

[Toddsterpatriot]

I have a problem with your title.

(Greenback is down about 50% vs. euro)

As you can see, the dollar is down from about 1.12 to about .78, about a 30% decline. Maybe Wanfeng Zhou needs a math lesson?

Does this mean the real estate market is about to rebound? Foreign bucks will now buy more. Isn't this when we usually see the Pacific Rim folks invade Disneyland, Hawaii and the real estate market?
