the dollar is dying fast...

WASHINGTON (AFP) - US President George W. Bush's administration was conspicuously silent even as Europe agonizes over the plummeting dollar, a policy analysts described as "benign neglect."

"Euroland policymakers are sounding the alarm bells," said Merrill Lynch chief North American economist David Rosenberg, as the euro hit a record high 1.2987 dollars in early trading.

The dollar had plunged 36 percent from the high of four years ago, and was dropping "like a stone" since the Bush's re-election, which stoked worries about the US trade and budget deficit, Rosenberg said.
