Look at it this way, Americans feel it primarily in oil prices which still don't approach inflation-adjusted highs. Europe is screaming bloody murder about the dollar. Our tourists aren't going there. Their tourists are flocking to this country. We're rebuilding our country with their economic blood. What's not to like about that?
Well the free traders told me that letting go of manufacturing was a good thing --- we would somehow benefit if foreign goods were very cheap so we could buy them. Now the weak-dollarers are telling me the opposite --- that foreign goods should be expensive and we should want manufacturing. We should want expensive goods and expensive oil and other imports --- who is right?
