Your U.S. salary next week will still be the same whether the Dollar goes up or down 50%...but countries that export goods to the U.S. see wild swings in prices based on the Dollar’s value.

That might be so....but my dollar isn’t buying what it use to. I see inflatation.

A little inflation is good...keeps people from just stuffing money into their mattresses.

A bad thing would be DEflation. Home prices plummeting, salaries falling, that sort of thing.

In the mean time, enjoy cheaper prices on telephone calls (some phone calls from the U.S. to international destinations were once $12 per minute back in the 1960's!) and lower priced computers, music, and movie DVD's.
