Hogwash...that's the view you get looking thru the wrong end of the telescope. The value of the dollar is but one small index of ebb and flow of a global closed loop system. The dollar is strengthening as we speak against the pound, euro, $C, $A. We are selling a hell of a lot more offshore recently resulting in record decline the trade imbalance. Canada and the UK just lowered interest rates blunting their short term advantage. Warren Buffett and George Sorros have lost billions betting against the dollar by selling short. Airbus recently described the overvalued Euro as a "nightmare" when it comes to selling their airplanes. GE loves the advantage of selling dollar price valued engines for Airbus airplanes. As for resume' blather I have developed and built hotels and casinos all over the world and it is clear that the universal view of most foreigners is that the U.S. economy is the envy of our other trading partners and economies. We are accelerating away from the pack as we speak. Our GDP grew last quarter at 4.9% while the large majority of the European Union countries and Japan were either flat or slightly negative. The U.S is booming. Facts are stubborn things.

unfortunetly, thanks to us , Americans, China is booming too.

I think China gdp is something like 15-20%

myself I try to stay away from china products, I had rather pay twice and recieve quality.

but on the other hand , my stock portfolio, is 75% asia/china, which is doing extremly well.

so I am having my cake and eating it too.

Ok everyone here is aware that this is a site related to RC and not a place to discuss political views and as such this thread is now locked....
