Then why do you have a conflict with the people bashing bush as he is very deserving of every bad remark directed at him?

That''s an accurate statement.

[mypatch]

oh oh, guess who is really running this country? It surely isn''t the president or the people!

[whitemale08]

Quit calling them dollars.

They''re worthless Federal Reserve Notes.

[vnveteran72]

The Amero is in the Pipeline and will be touted as the answer to all our problems. Just watch as the last of America and the Constitution is sold for a string of beads......G**** the Neocon Zionist Nazis and all their Toadies.....

This dollar is great for young folks from other nations who want a U.S. education, though (hey, I''m doing a re-run).

The number of foreign students is up something like 10% since Bush took office thanks in large part to the dollar''s fall...glad to see somebody benefits from his and the Republican''s tax, trade, fiscal, and diplomatic policies.

I just wish it was us.

The same people that control the Fed and are weakening the dollar are the ones controlling and strengthening the Euro. This is not an accident, an Bush is compliant.

[babooph]

Without the US propaganda system ,such a very low grade group could never have gotten into position to do so much damage.

[irliberal]

You caused death and destruction on a scale unknown since WWII.
You destroyed our military readiness by involving us in long pointless wars.
You destroyed our economy.
You destroyed the image of America to the world.

Thanks Bush. Thanks republicons. We''ve had quite enough of your failed, destructive policies. You''re done.

Time for a change.

[tulcak]

ha ha ha... still think bush and the GOP are great? i love it!! you let the bas*t*ar*d into office, you support his war, you are always mouthing off about how "great" America is. Well, its great no longer. Someone told me if I didn''t like it, I should move to another country... So, I did!! ha ha ha. I have been living in Europe now for 2 years, its the best decision I ever made. Keep it up conservatives. Run the country into the ground. I can come back and buy property cheap after converting my euros to dollars, and then rent it or sell it to YOU at ridiculous interest rates. pay back is a ***, isn''t it? Al Gore won the 2000 election and should have been president. Just imagine where we would be now if he had. so... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I love it and I hope it hurts you really bad. I hope you go through the same pain I went through because of your stupid man and stupid party. keep it up...

This can be a good thing, ya know. Means all them imports are going to be more expensive. But most things are imports nowadays, so chances are local producers are gonna up their prices to buy their imports.

Its too bad the lunatic left was so hellbent on keeping their precious national forests prestine, instead of keeping their no good god damned constituents employed.

Maybe we can all aspire to work 12 hours per day over a hot stove of toxic waste, making cheap *** to sell in a European version of Walmart.

That''s what the illegal immigrants are doing in this country! That''s why this country allows illegal immigration.

As for the college educated Americans, in computer science for example, they can go work starting around $12 to $14 an hour in programming. Because the "American" corporations feel that if they can hire someone from India at $4 an hour, they question why an American (BA or Masters degree) is worth much more than that!

[occams_taser]

A nation of anti-intellectuals driving gas guzzling pollute-mobiles 50 miles to and fro to go to their "You Want Fries With That?" jobs... cannot really compete with the emerging powerhouses in Asia and the smarter Europeans. We''re toast.

Americans have to wake up to many things, namely the fact that it time once again for our elected officials to represent those who have voted them into office. And that we need to start taking of our own country, we have serious problems here and it''s time to address them.

[incog-nito]

Edward1975: Yes, those jobs may eventually come back home, but not for a long, long time. Not until Americans'' wages have sufficiently declined to the equivalent of the Chinese worker, for example. A mid-manager friend of mine tells me that professional workers at a plant in China makes about 1/7-8th as much as they do here, and for them that''s A LOT of money.

[hbevis]

Those jobs that left, will be returning, with the dollar falling, it will be cheaper to bring the jobs home. Which is why they left originally, to cut cost by outsourcing.

I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU ARE RIGHT. BUT HAVE YOU LOOKED AT WHAT KIND OF WAGES THAT IS BEING PAID IN MEXICO?
AND HAVE YOU LOOKED AT WHAT THE PRICE OF GAS IS IN MEXICO?

OF COURSE ALL OF THESE JOBS LEAVING THE UNITED STATES IS MOSTLY THE NAFTA BILL COMING INTO EFFECT YEARS AFTER IT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW.

I DON''T KNOW WHAT THE STATUS OF JOB''S, ETC IS IN CANADA BUT I AM GOING TO IT A POINT TO FIND OUT.
