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.

Nope

Makes our products cheaper for other counties to buy. Makes their products more expensive for us which will lead to more people buying made in the USA both here and abroad which translates into more jobs for us.

yea cause GB is so mad that the pound is 2x the value of the dollar cmon your being very silly! Besides we need other countries products to be cheaper not ours......... we always buy more than we sell.

Wouldn't it be better for us to buy more of our own stuff? Would it be better for us if the world were to buy more of our stuff? 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.

You are right about us buying more foreign imports than we export..hence the huge trade deficit which is in part responsible for the decline of the dollar along with our massive national debt. I try very hard to buy things that are made in the USA but it keeps getting harder and harder to find these things.

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)
