The convenience of the dollar!?

Why is the value of the dollar falling? It use to be that for British pound you convert, you would win 2 US dollars. Okay, that was 20 years ago but how did they corner up? And the Euro is dominating too. And Canadian dollars are almost the same as US dollars. Is it the Iraq period of war? Is it that we depend so much on foreign goods from China? I would appreciate any explanations or opinion. Thanks!


Answers: Despite all the nouns that I see on this website about the dollar's significance, it's not all bleak news. A lower dollar routine that our exports are cheaper to foreign consumers and it is cheaper for foreign travelers to visit our country. That help create American jobs.

So why did it crash down? There are many reason. The Iraq war is portion of it because it is one of the reasons for our big budget deficits. We also run a huge current depiction deficit because we import far more products from other countries then we put on the market back.

For a pious article that explains the reasons and the potential impact, check this relationship: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4772...
All currency in the world is "fiat money"--the perception of the organization is all that back it--no gold (or pounds sterling) anymore for anything. Now that America is clearly overextended protecting the world near our military, providing endless disaster nouns and foreign aid, and with a subprime mess at home by irresponsible lenders, we're sentiment the pain. The feed printing presses keep printing; the bogus Fed Reserve keep lowering interest rates; our debt and obligations come across to have no closing stages. People look at the large growing "middle class" surrounded by China and India and don't realize that especially China has a lying parliament that does NOT honor contracts, patents, etc. and they integer that THAT is where the bucks are (it's still smoke and mirrors as the yuan have no inherent value and a corrupt government--they'll play justifiably nice until AFTER the Olympics this summer).

There are other issues as well, but it really boils down to fiat currency which process OPINION determines "value." Stupid, eh?
