I have reported local lay offs of export industries like John Deere for about a month. The strong dollar which is polar opposite of PK and T's predictions of the Fed and fiat money does have a downside. It gives Americans more purchase power for foreign goods, and it makes our goods more expensive. The falling imports of oil is the strongest factor, and as I look at the cars in Illinois....they are almost completely energy efficient. We saw numerable Prius vehicles in Florida, four in Georgia, and thirty in Ky when we quit counting. We actually this year saw a bunch of Prius vehicles in of all places Alabama. Last year we traveled the length of Georgia and did not see ONE Prius. This year we saw four. KY had an abundance and we simply quit counting around Nashville. When cars are consuming half of the gas from a decade ago......the dollar will get stronger.

260,000 jobs in one month.  That's a quarter as much as what were added during 12 years of Bush's.  And now we have a third Bush lurking on the horizon.

When your base has the collective IQ of queso dip...
