Why shouldn't the value of the dollar drop? We're buying too many imports, we're selling too few exports. The debt is huge. So, yeah, the dollar is worth less today than it was yesterday, and tomorrow it will be worth less.

Yeah, you can make money playing the currency markets, or even better yet, consider what you're purchasing this holiday season. Buy from small businesses who generally can't afford to bring in huge imports, buy American where you can, and you never know, that dollar might actually start to go up...

Or maybe it'll just keep dropping like a rock, because no one will care about the future economic health of the country as a whole on a personal level, and they'll call on the government to do their job.
