The US deficit is too big for the USD too climb aganst other fiat currencies - if the US cut military spending + social programs, then they might be able to balance the budget, and put a stop to their deficit, which in time could make the USD rise again, since there will be no need to keep printing new/more USD.
1 year from now probably the same to minus 5%
In 2 years there will be a new president, however so far I have only seen one candidate who actual is concern about the economy, and thats Ron Paul - rest of them are talking about the same level of spending on things with bad returns (military + social programs), with a few of them talking for even more spending - WTF!?! So 2 years from now it will probably be minus 5-10% from today (unless that Ron Paul fellow wins, or the new US president is getting schooled after he/she wins the election).
5 years is getting us close to alot of bad mojo... nuclear weapons in the middel east, china claming land, oil production peaking, a few sector bubble bursts, and since the US will be sitting in the middle of all, then the USD might hit the lowest yet. Of course there is always the possibility the US have elected wise leaders by then, which navigate the US into safe harbor, but I´m guessing the odds are low for that.
10 years if time is still around (2012), then the Euro will replace the USD as the world fiat currency, which could be the end of the US empire.
Of course there is always the VERY realistic chance that european, candian etc. politicians fuck up their own economies with insane spending (ex. state welfare for everyone), so their fiat currencies will drop as fast or faster than the USD, which might make my fortune-telling fucking fun for everyone reading this in 10 years from now
