Best thing that could happen for our own economy! a strong dollar is bad for exports and maybe this will help even up our huge trade deficits and create more jobs.

You can be sure that companies in great britain that export to the USA are very upset over the currency being 2x that of our own now along with any UK companies that export to other countries where we compete with them since our products will now be much cheaper than theirs.Quote:

:lift:
as an aside you shouldnt buy things that say "made in the USA" because it was made here. You should buy things that are the best value/quality(which often is foreign goods) buying american for the sake of america is inherently unamerican. The only way to make american companies increase their quality control and value is if you buy things that are held to the highest standard(once again foreign goods) As an example: only after jap cars became a hit and started digging deep into detroits pocket did there quality control go up (and it still took nearly 2 decades for them to react)
