I travel internationally alot. Since Jan 2005 my dollars are worth less .... it takes $1250 or $1300 to buy what $1000 got then.

Its amazing to me that this has been going on for two and one half years with no one taking much notice....except for those who have to spend their US dollars internationally.

Well, they have noticed...in a way. People have watched their $500,000 houses go to $650,000 and their $100,000 portfolios go to $130,000 and they think they are doing really well. ;)
