Thats one of the reasons why i mentioned precious metals, there's no use saving 20% of your wage in US dollars when the US dollar is lowering in value week after week...

It's all relative! And.......the $ is actually going UP against some currencies too! If one doesn't travel a dollar is still worth a dollar here!

It is all relative. The dollar moving up in someplace doesn't matter. Especially when everything HERE is more expensive.

Its great for us. I can now buy for example, an AC120 HOB filter for 40 bucks and have it shipped for 50 bucks, and save $110 overall.

Comparing your dollar to Zimbabwe's shouldn't make you feel better mate lol
(at least Bichirs should be cheaper i spose)

Compare your Dollar against currencies that matter...

How can you say "if you don't travel, a dollar is still a dollar"?

Your dollar has been dropping for a while now, the lower it goes the more it costs to buy or import the same items... which is then passed on to you the end user/consumer in the form of higher prices.

Lately you can see the financials and the US$ fighting trying to bounce back but i think the damage is already done and what your seeing now is like a twitch before death.

Seems like most Americans are bumbed out. Not me, I'm pumped. Yeah the economy is bad now but in a few of years it's gonna be the Sh!#. What comes after a recession... a rebound. It's simple economics, our economy is simply too strong to stay down. This happens like every decade, and I'm just getting ready for the party.

finally someone said something smart

theres on thing that sickens me about how we get taxed though, theres a group of workers that make solid money i dont know what the range is im guessing 500,000-1,000,000 a year that get the crap taxed out of them which i think is stupid, when there is something like 1% of trillionaires that dont pay up for anything beacuse they keep getting richer of the stock market interest etc etc etc

so when they say tax the rich, (the politicians that is) there not really taxing the rich lazy arses just the people who work hard to make that kind of money

Voss, the top 1% richest Americans pay nearly have of all taxes. The top 50% pay over 95% of taxes. How is that fair?

For the record, Im poor. I can just see the flaw in the whole "the rich dont pay" argument the dems use to get votes.

 

[voss345]

the top 1% are so rich they dont work, which means no income and nothing to tax
