dollar weakens...

As people are less worried about the world economy imploding from a banking system crisis-- and as our debt and probable future debt increases-- the dollar continues to weaken.

This should be no surprise.

And the fruit of this-- especially higher gas and food prices will be subtle but painful.

Another thing to watch for: Will the trade deficit in goods and services continue to drop? If so, the other side of that coin-- a declining investment surplus (those in other countries investing more in us vs. us in them)-- could be a very bad sign. The last time we ran a trade surplus was during the lousy economy of the 1970s.
