Our exports are cheaper, because the materials and labor purchased to produce product made in the USA are relatively lower than the monetary unit of measure of other countries. However, this is hurting the USA consumer, who must pay more for goods and services that are imported from around the rest of the world. This predicament has lead VW to contemplate building an Auto Plant in the USA to take advantage of the relatively low costs of materials and labor here in the states.
The fall of the dollar relative to other currencies internationally is going to hurt the good old US (e.g. you and I), as the US is a very big importer of goods and services. You can thank the Neoconservative Bush Administration with its war on terror, (eg war on Iraq), deficit spending (eg spending in excess of revenue collected for the people), and borrowing from other countries which has run up the US debt. The situation has become so drastic that I may have to consider some other brand of auto other than VW for my next Auto purchase, as VWs are becoming more expensive by the day. We need a new direction for the US very badly, and for me, the 2008 elections couldn't come soon enough. Regards, LelandJ Pete Theisen wrote: > Hi Everyone! > > So the dollar falls.
