Paul, the trade deficit hit a record level and your chart shows the dollar got stronger last year. Is that the correlation you were talking about?
Just against real-world prices of things.
Yes Paul, rising prices means prices are rising. Rising prices does not mean our currency is weakening.
No, it didn't "get stronger." Look where it started from. T'sk. T'sk. An uptick is NOT 'getting stronger.' Its a puny little blip...caused by any number of things as alluded to. But the overall trend is down, down, down.
Yes Paul, rising prices means prices are rising. Rising prices does not mean our currency is weakening.
Or then again, maybe it does.
