An older article but gives the simplest explanation of the trade offs between strong and weak dollars.

A Dinocon Isolationists, like Buchanan and his clique, should be ecstatic about the weak dollar. A weak dollar hurts our foreign competitors, it helps the most efficient parts of our economy grow market share and it helps wean US Consumers off our addiction to cheap imported goods.

I agree with you. As in everything economics its cyclical. There will always be correcting going on. Its the yin and the yang, the give and take, the ebb and flow. A weak dollar is OK for a while, not forever. Its not all black and white.
