You stupid liberal!

You pathetic 'Hate America First' asshole. Like Horvath said.
"Weak dollar? What weak dollar? My beers still cost the same."
Only an idiot worries about a 'weak' dollar. When our dollar is
'weak' it helps balance the trade deficit by making our exports
more competitive.

There is one tiny little fly in your ointment!

I import stuff from the States. When the dollar becomes weaker, the
American goods that I sell become more competetive, or I make more, and
therefore I sell them harder. Either way, America must benefit, right?
NO, Wrong!!!

I also import from the Far East. They also price their goods in US
Dollars! Their prices are dropping too. However, they were cheaper to
start with, so the only difference that a falling dollar makes, is that the
gap narrows.

A few years ago, the narrowing gap would have made a big difference to
sales, because the US products were of higher quality. So it would have
become much easier to sell the US product. Now, the Far Eastern products
are now as reliable as US made products. So the falling dollar doesn't make
much difference.
