The Dollar Plummets

DailyRead has a post up about one of my favorite topics - that Americans drinking the Koolaid fail to notice what's happening to the US Dollar in George Bush's economy:

In January 2003, the US Dollar was exchanging at 94 cents to one Euro, in December 2003, it was 81 cents.

Today the US economy has rebounded to show the US Dollar exchanging at 77 cents to one Euro.

As I watch the hearings and read the news stories on the proposals for saving Social Security, I am reminded of the now familiar process of audio and visual delusion being hammered into place by all the experts on various radio and television talk shows.

If you are allergic to smoke, you might opt for an extra pair of underpants for a while.
Actually, I went to three pairs of underpants when Bush was first selected. I'll need to own stock in Depends soon which will probably have to substitute for my SS benefit.
