That is crap! The currency in our major trading partners has barely changed at all. I travel the world, and that is patently untrue...We are being raped not by Europe, but right here in town!!

In late March of 2003, the U.S. dollar was worth about 1.15 Euros. Today, it's worth about 0.83 Euros. That's a decline of about 28%.
In late March of 2003, oil was trading at about $28 per barrel. Today, it closed at almost $36 per barrel. That's an increase of -- you guessed it -- about 28%.
Oil isn't any more rare today than it was a year ago. In fact, the price of oil looks to be quite stable when priced in Euros. The only thing that has changed in the last year has been a 28% decline in the value of the dollar against the Euro.
