A Dollars Worth?

A Dollars Worth?

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? 😄

WORLD TAKEOVER!!!

yes...because American isolationism will do wonders for their economy

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.

who gets to define fair means?

"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?

Moving to Canada might help. I like to be where the dollar is good.

Iran stopped accepting the USD for barrels of oil yesterday.

The Iran president said it was a waste of paper or something like that... this is screwed up

It's declining because of the Euro.

We laugh at the idea back in the late 90s...but it did paid off.

We shouldn't do anything: if the dollar falls low enough, then all the illegal immigrants will go home. 😂

Im just wondering, how did you reached that conclusion?

Well, obviously everyone that laughed at the Euro is an idiot. But I don't think that's the reason, really.

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.

Not a conclusion but more of a hunch.

You're saying that after the fact. Where were you in 96?
