Ask your wives. Ask how much a can was under Clinton. Or

The American dollar really is worth-less now. A dollar pays fewer days
of local property tax than it did two years ago - much less than it did
10 years ago. A dollar buys less gasoline than it did six months ago -
much less than it did two years ago. A dollar buys fewer days of
prescription drugs for chronic conditions than it did one year ago -
much less than it did five years ago.

She said it was a **** of a lot more than under Reagan. Plus they started
using child labor to pick the beans

Republicans. The child-labor laws seem to have been somewhat
gutted recently, at least in enforcement. Even better if they are
illegals ...

under Clinton.

Monica envy again?

Overall it's a very good thing.

In the 90's we allowed the dollar to get too strong. Asian and European
governments were manipulating the currency markets in an attemt to export
their way out of trouble.

What trouble? Did they have neocons too?

The result for the U.S. was an exploding trade
deficit and the collapse of personal savings in 1998.

A winger's dream come true.

Look at all the
manufacturing that was lost.

Only the next quarter's profits matter and you can make
more by moving production offshore. Nice tax credits from
the republicans too I gather.

You can't be competitive with a too strong
dollar.

Not when you don't make metric prodiucts or anything
much else anyone wants.
Lawyers & politicos ... now if we could find an export
market for them ...

All of this eventually contributes to the massive goverment debt we have
today.

Clinton was paying it off.

At least the current group of idiots understand currency.

Clinton was not running up those deficits.

Too bad
they don't know how to reign in spending.

Don't be bad-mouthing republicans & neocons. They are in
total control now and have your phone number, address,
church membership, credit info, wife's maiden name ...

Latest report: Expect your winter heating costs to rise 20-50% this
winter. If you have any.
Might be worse but global warming may help.
