I think the thought tends to be if the dollar were was less on the world market our exports would be more. That doesn't take into account it was because the dollar was more that our ability to buy products and labor from elsewhere is what eased out lives. The similarity between Japan and US is precisely because they are inverse and so the problems they face are like though unlike.

the US and Japan share the same marketplaces now as they always have, only difference is that Japan is going to have a huge price lead as the yen falls and perhaps takes the competitive costs of the whole region with it. The US vs Japan ten years ago= high yen, high real estate and market valuations, what an economic miracle. US today, uncompetitive dollar, high real estate in some sectors and incredible historic market valuations. Nothing but downside in my books. Innovation will be quickly stunted as the economic downturn continues. Print and lower rates is all AG can do quickly to offset the decline. Taxes are another matter as you know.
