306 - "Not if you are paid in Euro's
True. Unfortunately, most of the slobs that we are worried about are paid in dollars."
But the stuff we are buying, importing, which we are paying for in dollars, and being paid with in dollars, that stuff needs to be paid for in Euro's, or in devalued dollars. Since last summer, prices for metals and other commodities procured overseas have increased by 40%, so our imports, which are becoming the majority of our purchases, are going up markedly, while our pay is not.

That was the concern I was trying to express in post #276.
