The dollar was weak during the 80's too, it's the result of rising deficits and the national debt.

Basically our deficit/debt acts like a credit score to the rest of the world. The stronger our fiscal situation, the more they're going to want our currency, and vice-versa.

If the next president brings us back the the fiscal responsibility we had in the 90's, then the dollar will get stronger. If it's more of the same, it's going to get weaker.
