US dollar is up.

Against the other western economies that are in worse shape than us.
How do you figure the dollar is doing against the yuan or the riyal?
Are you really saying imported oil or chinese goods are getting
cheaper?

the reason the yuan isn't getting cheaper is it cant

it's pegged to the dollar.

It isn't really pegged to anything, that is one of our complaints.

I agree we are their biggest market so their prosperity is somewhat
pegged to ours but they also have a much higher tolerance to financial
pain.

At some point, as a nation, we're going to have to closely examine the
"system" we have in "prosperity," since what we have now no longer
really serves the middle class or those trying to claw their way into it.
