All auto makers (GM, Ford, Chrysler).
All electronics makers (those we have left).
All our aerospace companies (like Boeing).
Our agricultural exports (yes, even our family farmers, much less ADM.)
Our wineries (Napa Valley is very, very happy about this).
Our manufacturing-for-export sector (Federal-Mogul, Bridgeport, Caterpillar).
Basically, anyone who sells goods made in the US to overseas markets.

Pick up a Thomas Directory. Chances are that everyone in that book save for US offices of foreign companies is VERY happy about this.

Conversely, those import competitors become much less desirable because of their escalating prices. As I recall, you have been a staunch defender of the Big Three automakers. Well, this is a BIG help to their recovery efforts.

"Basically, anyone who sells goods made in the US to overseas markets."

But it is bigger than that too. Even a business that does not export benefits, especially when one of their competitors is say Canadian or Mexican. Take an apple farmer for example, that does zero export, they see less domestic competition from say Canada? Tomatoes, less comp from Mexico. Loss of foreign intervention, is great for these domestic producers.

And how about shopping malls by the borders? Mexicans and Canadians right now are flooding into our country every day, waiting in lines for HOURS just to spend their money here. And when they are here, they stay in hotels, use our stores, entertainment, etc. Things are now so cheap, it warrants flying to our country even, from Europe or Asia.

I was looking for a more specific list. On the electronics, is there any company left in the U.S. making electronic products. I don’t belive their is a TV manufacturer left. Probably not a toaster maker or a microwave maker or a ...

Perhaps the falling dollar isn’t such a bad idea for awhile. It does increase exports and brings more money here from oversees. Prices of goods will rise and consumers could feel the pinch.
