Today, several years later it's worth $1.26

9 cents in over 4 years....WOW the Euro really kicked the dollar's ass huh?
If you call that the dollar going into the toilet then you have a very fucked up definition of a currency going down the toilet.

And even IF the dollar is sliding, that can be a very good thing for the U.S. economy considering our trade imbalance and dependance on foreign oil.
Your not even close to understanding what I'm saying sadly

Unfortunetly I do not have a graph to prove my point so I'm just gonna have to post facts instead

The dollars value since 2001

http://www.x-rates.com/d/GBP/USD/hist2001.html

Jan 2001 $1 = 0.676896 GBP

http://www.x-rates.com/d/GBP/USD/hist2006.html

Jan 2006 $1 = 0.566481 GBP

2001 - Canadian Dollars to 1 USD

http://www.x-rates.com/d/CAD/USD/hist2001.html

Jan 2001 $1 = 1.5032 CAD

http://www.x-rates.com/d/CAD/USD/hist2006.html

Jan 2001 $1 = 1.15788 CAD

Yes your right, the dollars worth more now than it was in 2001 NOT

It ONLY remains a good thing as long as oil is ONLY sold in dollars, if oil starts to be sold in euros on a big enought scale your economy is completely FUCKED !
