GWB: Screwing the Soldiers With a Smile....

An economic impact to the military....Military forces on PCS....ask them how much the US dollar now buys them on the local economy? Not very long ago the $US was worth more than the Euro. Now...

1 US Dollar = 0.88763 Euro
1 Euro (EUR) = 1.12660 US Dollar (USD)

The impact to the US at large is significant in cost of imports, but the overseas military also get to spend their weak dollar in the local economy. Such a bargain.

Do we officially still have a "strong dollar" policy? I'm not suggesting that the Administration actually does anything about that policy...just whether the stump speeches still claim the Administration has a "strong dollar" policy.
