Sorry. But the headline and the graph just don't jibe. Today's Times reports Signs of Upturn for the Dollar; that it's "creeping" back up against the Euro. "Creepy" is more like it. I mean, what kind of metrics are these experts suggesting? There's been a precipitous slide since 2002. Temporary stabilization has repeatedly been followed by further loss. Okay. I'm no expert when it comes to economics [heck, i don't even have enough cash to bother balancing my checkbook], but even a three year old could identify this trend. Looks like it's blipping up before another crash. In any event, it took six years to get us here [another great legacy of the Bush administration]. Regained parity will not be a quick fix regardless of what the experts say.
Personally I'd prefer to hear, "I don't know" instead of the bullshit that's being served up.
