The falling dollar also has advantages, is cyclical, and is interconnected with the global economy anyway. In other words, this is a temporary issue that misses the true fundamental challenges of our economy. To a large extent, the value of the dollar has been kept down by the American government because it allows us to sell our exports cheaper. Any recession in our country will negatively impact and spread to other State's economies, and a new balance will be found. There are many, many things (some even easy) that we could do to pump up the dollar. The reality is that this is not a priority for our politicians right now because it is not the priority of multi-conglomerate, multi-national corporations. The middle class is being squeezed between numerous factors like high oil prices/inflation, a repressive tax burden, and an incompetent mandatory public education system which is increasingly worthless- with the falling dollar being one of the smaller influences.
