Deflating the American dollar Bush style

On my recent trip to Europe I came to realize just how far the mighty dollar has sunk. Since two years ago it has devalued 25% against the British Pound, and a whopping 38% against the Euro. Add to that the overall decline in USA economic health and you can see that relative to the rest of the world its quite amazing that our leaders can still hold their head up high and proclaim that everything is going to be alright.
