This whole weaker dollar situation can be blown away by POTUS issuing an executive order to drill on the continental shelves of the lower 48 states and on the North slope of Alaska. He isn’t running for President again, so he won’t have to worry about such things as popularity (his is pretty much in the toilet anyway).
Now, can he do that?
No, the weak dollar has nothing to do with our oil consumption. It’s has to do with runaway spending and a Central bank with it’s head in the sand.
This isn’t the fault of the Chinese, Saudis, Soros or Iranians, this is the fault of the Republicans who cut taxes while increasing spending.
