"Look, I hate to just pound on you, but that's just ignorant."
I think you misspoke here, you admit huge trade deficit lower the value of a currency but then you claim I am ignorate for making the exactly that claim.
Please clarifiy your position so that we may have a good debate.
"If the dollar crashes the GOP will be blamed for run away spending, huge trade deficits and loss of high paying jobs that brought about the crash."
A Dollar crash does *not*, repeat, NOT bring about huge trade deficits. The loss of high-paying jobs does not bring about a crash, either.
In fact, a crash in your currency kills your trade deficit. So the GOP will *NEVER* be "blamed" for a huge trade deficit after a currency crash...because there won't be any trade deficit.
...And that's a good thing.
