< They need our strength in order for them to prosper.> They don't want it anymore. The US needs their weakness in order to prosper. < The US, on the other hand, has a very strong domestic economy.> Not without a bubble stock market. As the stock market declines substantially, so goes your very strong domestic economy.

I haven't access to data on this - but I'm not sure about your claim that the rest of the world needs a strong US dollar to prosper. It seems that the rest of the world has got along just fine in times of strong and weak American dollars. And I'm not sure how much of a factor those big ticket items are - rather in the same way that the mega corporations aren't the major providers of jobs - it's small business which does that. How many IBM PCs are actually made in the States? How many Taylor Made golf clubs. These things are made for the most part in places like Taiwan. As a sidebar - I have been told that Taylor Made clubs and Taylor Made knock offs are not only made in Taiwan - but by the same people in Taiwan!
