I'm so happy we've got another poster that actually looks at the DXY and not CPI figures, then claim how much the dollar is in the tank. The world of absolutes must be a scary one.
Exactly. People don't realize the value of the USD is relative to other currencies, not just a function of how much money supply is out or what the CPI is.
Many Americans think there is inflation but what has really occurred is that wages for certain jobs (mainly repetitive tasks/low skill jobs) have dropped because of international competition (this was the main purpose of free trade agreements IMO) or automation rendering workers obsolete.
