this is not new policy, * and snow announced early on that they were following a "soft dollar" policy

don't kid yourself, the dollar has already declined precipitously since 2000, the fact that you don't seem to have noticed prob. says it all for how this policy affects your quality of life

however, for me, it is quite upsetting, because the american dollar is now "toilet paper," in one european's delightful phrase to me and hardly buys anything overseas

even canada's silly dollar has strengthened considerably since *co took the wheel

never mind the pound and the euro which stomp the dollar into the dirt
