Oh, and if you find this site, filled as it is with knee-jerk conservatives, I bet you one (devalued) American Dollar that I can help break your Free Republic posting habit.
My, my, are you upset at being exposed as an economic illiterate? Or, is it because you can’t be bothered to read an entire post before flying off the handle?
I’m sorry that you had to go to the trouble to look up what the dollar index is, but your smokescreen of ad hominem doesn’t cut any mustard. BTW, I’ve been trading currencies and the dollar index for over 30 years, you’re not talking to one of your fellow know-nothing rubes.
My point was and is that this economy is growing DESPITE the worst jug-ears can throw at it and has thrown at it for the last 5 years. There’s no point in denying it, you just make yourself look silly.
