Bush decided that all war expenditures are "off-budget". Not that changed the economics of the situation. The biggest reason for the decline in the Dollar from 2000 to 2008 though was the incredible increase in the amount of Dollars created by the mortgages lent out for the housing bubble. As the price of homes doubled, the value of the Dollar dropped by 50%, creating the illusion of prosperity while nothing hanged. Once home prices dropped and many mortgages were extinguished, it was natural for the value of the Dollar to begin rising again as there were far fewer of them in circulation.
