A big shout out to scrubbie from Seoul, Korea.
As an American working in Korea, I wish to say thank you president scrubbie. When I came to Korea in 1998 (during the Clinton Admin) the exchange rate was 1403 (won) to the dollar. Courtesy of scrubbies inept management of the US economy, a stark contrast to the way Clinton managed the US economy, the exchange rate is now 998 won to the dollar. So now when I send money home, I get a huge boost for my exchange.
Just as a note: Two years ago it was 1250 to 1. That gives you an idea of how quickly the dollar has dropped.
A second note: The won has also gotten weaker over the past two years. It's just that the US economy has tanked faster.
Tell that to your pukie friends the next time they tell you pukes are better managers of the economy.

1. Tell that to your pukie friends
Thanks... I needed that... so true, so true... I guess the theory that pushing the wealth upwards to the priveliged few will fix the problems with the economy is somewhat flawed. Pity.

2. I'm envious...
I live overseas, but we're paid in dollars, so this is really sucking for us!
