I think it will stop falling when the U.S. gets a new president. Bush is the reason the dollar is falling. He thinks it will help American exports

Not true. The economy is not that bad in the US. Just in Michigan. And lastly, if you think it has to do with the president, then just wait til some liberal gets elected to office in 2008 (hillary clinton, ugh) and the economy plunges. Keep your political opinions off of this website.

Who are you to tell us what to talk about? As long as it stays in "Off Topic", all is well. I will, however, say that the idea that Bush has some Machiavellian plot going to weaken the dollar in order to help our exports is pretty silly in my eyes. Any dollar-weakening he has done is either sheer incompetence or collateral damage from some other, more obvious, more stupid plot.

On a side note, even if I thought that every policy position the Democrats held was dead wrong, I still might vote Democrat just because of the rampant cronyism (with accompanying incompetence), myopic powermongering, and outright disrespect for the Constitution of the United States that I have witnessed in this administration for the past six years, with the rest of the Republican Party right along for the ride. The Democrats are far, far from a shining beacon of unsullied statesmanship, but compared to the Republicans right now they might as well be.

It's one of the great drawbacks of our current political system that there are only 2 realistic choices most of the time. Support runoff elections!

P.S.  "just wait til some liberal gets elected to office in 2008 (hillary clinton, ugh) and the economy plunges."
Just like the other time a Clinton got elected, right?  They said he'd tank the economy, too.  And I don't know if I'd call Hillary Clinton a liberal.
