A weak dollar brings along with it many benefits. It's funny how people talk about how strong the Bush economy has been when it was the federal reserve and exchange rate adjusting to avoid a rather deep recession.

The real concern should not be the dollar itself but trading partners like China who illegally peg their dollar to ours. Of course, the USA's inept political system means that those people who have a vested interest in China's actions, such as the retail lobby, are successfully pushing politicians in the country to do nothing. The dearth of leadership at the top isn't helping either.

Hopefully in 2 years we'll have a president without his/her head stuck straight up their backside.
