The problem has a lot to do with Bush. The deficit spending in general and the huge strain on the economy that this failed war is having on the economy is bad. It is sad that Bush has spent billions for things like a mercenary army (Blackwater) that drag the economy down while making the rich richer. Sad and tragic.

The dollar should strengthen when interest rates are raised.
