suffocation, Canada's dollar would be around 72 cents US right now.
Thank-you President Bush!
It's only the beginning of the decline of the dollar.
The US treasury has reached it's debt ceiling and needs
to get authorization from congress to borrow more money.
The Bush administration is using every trick in the book to
delay this action until after the election.
Bush is running a war without PAYING for it.
Wars are not free.
Wars cost blood.
Wars cost money.
Bush is in denial and fails as a leader in both cases.
I agree totally.
With great sadness, I watch the Euro exchange rate every day. I must
perfrom this painful ritual because I regularly fly between the US and
the EU.
Now that the election is getting down to the wire and (amazingly) Bush
has a chance to be (finally!) elected, the dollar is dropping to new
lows -- $1.25 to the Euro, from 80 cents three years ago, before we
let him run up the deficit with this insane Iraqi thing.
Everyone, and I mean everyone, I meet throughout Europe simpy can't
believe that we would even consider Bush, after his abysmal record.
And, for well over a year, now, many have expressed fears that Bush
and his cohorts will dummy up some more "Intel" to justify going into
Iran - but they don't think the Brits will be our slavish lapdog on
that little jaunt.
We claim to have the best education system in the world, but I suppose
that "best in the world" label only applies to our colleges, which are
filled with foreign students... only a fourth of Americans actually
finish a four year degree, so I guess an ignorant citizenry is to
expected... and to be exploited.
