Since the War on terrorism started back in 2002 or 2003 or something... The American dollar has steadily been declining in value. I know 100pennies equal 97yen in japan. so 1 dollar is equal to 97Yen. Make sense? I just heard recently that even the canadian dollar is worth more now than the american dollar. 3 cents more in fact. so 1 american dollar is worth 1.03 canadian dollar. Now I may be wrong on the canadian dollar fact but the point I'm trying to make is. American money isn't worth what it used to be.
That being said, What do you think could be done to fix this problem...
(I.E: Which president would be best to solve this issue, or what could be done with gas prices, or what could be done for the declination of the American economy?)
Any ideas?

Libertarians aren't for isolationism. They are for non-interventionism, which, the last 7 years of war should have shown, is not a bad idea. Ron Paul as well as real libertarians are all for trading with everyone by fair means, which, indeed, does wonders for an economy.
"open" trade did not do wonders for a lot of Latin and South American economies, nor South-East Asian

I never said they had to participate. I believe "open" trade would be smart for countries like the US or Germany. I don't know much about the situations in South America though, how open is their trade really? Can you enlighten me on what you mean, please?
We laugh at the idea back in the late 90s...but it did paid off.

I found out the other day that Ron Paul endorses Intelligent Design. It's quite a conflict of interests for me, since I agree with him economically but not on that and a few other social issues where he seems to pander to the religious left more than anything else.
Absolutely agreed. There are many issues he endorses I am opposed to his ideas. To me he was the best candidate of the large parties, but he is not in any way my ideal politician.
You're saying that after the fact. Where were you in 96?
