Why everything is so expensive?
Because the US dollar is in free fall and has been for several quarters prices on almost everything we buy from overseas are rising. From oil to toilet paper the dollar simply won’t buy what it would even 2 years ago as I’m sure every Walmart shopper in the county is well aware of. So why is the dollar falling when out economic engine is relatively strong, especially compared to everyone else? Could it be the new cold war? One of the problems I have with being so tied to global markets is the same as my opposition to the United Nations. Why tie ourselves, especially our economic health, to a bunch of yahoos who are against the interests of the United States 85% of the time?
