The Plummeting Greenback

The dollar is dropping down a hole, thanks to Greenspan, Bernanke, Congress, and Bush. This alone can wreck the empire abroad and the imperial welfare state at home. That’s all to the good, of course, but the concomitant economic suffering is not. We’re in a recession. Is worse ahead?
