Any other country that has its currency pegged to the dollar (although I can’t imagine why someone would want to at this time).

Hawaii and Alaska count, in a sense.

Low prices are unpatriotic.

Ok what I meant was 80 cents would buy 1 euro when the euro first came out.

Wrong, when it first came out, it took $1.20 to buy one Euro.

now 127 cents buys 1 euro.

Wrong again, $1.38 buys one Euro.

The average person has no idea about M3. Heck, the average person spends their time wondering what Paris Hilton will do next. Most people who invested in real assets since 2001.

I’m not talking about highways, I’m taling about mines, major oil finds, refineries, etc. Investments in any of those industries have done extremely well since 2000.

Got you.

And yes those stocks are kicking and it's probably just getting started. Infrastructure plays are hot.

Right. But the average person would have an idea whether his dollar is worth 3%, 30%, or 300% less. You aparently do not.

You want the dollar to keep declining to the socialists/communists at the state department could try and implement a new currency called an amero that would be part of the North American Union plan?

The American people need to reject this. Lou Dobbs does a great job in criticizing the “elites” who want to create a North American Union. There are polticians from both parties who are associated with the “elitists” who run CFR.

Bush SR negotiated NAFTA and Clinton signed it into law. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Hillary didn’t come out and say that she would end US participation in NAFTA.

The only candiates who I have confidence in who would repeal NAFTA are Hunter, Tancredo and Kucinich. I prefer Hunter since he is very well-rounded, including his military leadership.

Why do you suppose it costs more dollars to buy that same barrel of oil? Hint: it isn’t because the barrels are getting bigger. Demand is higher, but still.

The US needs to get off foreign oil as soon as possible. Not because of “Global Warming” but because it’s a national security issue. Oil revenue adds up being used to fund terrorism.

Maybe oil could be drilled in the meantime in Alaska. The environmental alarmists need to stop filibustering it.

Have Hunter or Tancredo come out and said they’d repeal NAFTA?

That’s three. First the Fed, then the don’t pay taxes, now the NAU. What is the mentality of one who confuses economics with conspiracy theories?

All I can say is that China is keeping their prices low. Europ;ean prices are through the roof, and we get the money. Funny thing about free trade, but that’s how it works.

Well, I can offer very reasonable terms..... LOL

Seriously, if I were you I’d vacation actually in the US. Your dollar will go far there. Your own land is very very large and encompasses an enormous number of attractions, natural and man-made. You could spend a lifetime travelling and not see all of it.
