The dollar has dropped in value against the Euro again, for the seventh time in four years. http://www.thehollandsentinel.net/stories/111804/b us_111804041.shtml "The U.S. dollar plunged to a new low against the euro Wednesday as markets shrugged off Washington's insistence that it is committed to a strong dollar. And with the causes of the drop -- worries over oil prices and the U.S. trade and budget deficits -- not going away, some economists see the euro soaring to $1.35 or beyond." I believe this reinforces the message I have been repeating for over a year now...i.e., that this economy in the US, is in great trouble.
