The US Dollar
Posted on 2/15/14 at 3:10 pm
Posted on 2/15/14 at 3:10 pm
Is it more beneficial for the US to have a strong dollar policy or a weaker dollar in this global economy? It seems our policy is to continue keeping rates low and printing more money. The problem is other countries are driving their currencies down similarly to the US. We benefit by cheaper products and higher exports, but Mitt Romney was a proponent of a stronger US currency.
Which policy is best for the US?

Personally, I personally believe Romney was on the wrong side of the issue.

our debt level will require devaluing the dollar, especially if we get our deficits down.

The market should determine the strength of the dollar.

You have to consider the fact that the US dollar is a reserve currency.
The economics are fundamentally different compared to other currencies.

It used to be so cool when we had purchasing power abroad. Those were the days. These days a decent meal in London or Tokyo rivals your car payment.

The cost of dinner for two in London has surged 11 percent over the past year -- the biggest gain in more than two decades -- and now exceeds 90 pounds (150 US) for the first time, the publishers of a restaurant guide said today.

Sterling surged to $1.6709 (60p to the dollar) – a rate of exchange against the greenback close to an April 2001 peak – as weak economic data in the US contrasted with a far more bullish outlook in the UK.

75 dollars a piece still would not be the average dinner in London that is still an expensive place.

No shite. I'm staying for a week this Summer at The Langham. A nice dinner with the posh people, a bottle of wine and dessert in Marylebone will cost close to $400, I'm guessing.

For British cuisine, well like they say a fool and his gold are soon parted.

Its survey of more than 1,800 eateries found the average cost of a meal for two in the capital to be £90.02
At today's exchange rate that is $150.71.
I will be eating cheap in China town and pizzas in Soho for the most part.
My "other" will be my 15 year old daughter. Love that girl!

The British "traditional breakfast" is the worst. That pathetic tomato they put on the plate. And how do you frick up bacon?

Decent meal in London = oxymoron.
I never go to London without my Tony Chachere's!

I don't really eat "English" in London. I stick to Chinese/Indian etc. I mean, besides breakfast, I'm most likely to eat traditional hearty fare like fish and chips or shepherd's pie if I'm in a restaurant. I REALLY like all those little cheap hummus sandwiches/wraps they sell in the convenience stores.
