  They haven't?

  Do you buy your own groceries?

  That's the concept of currency DEVALUATION

  The price of EVERYTHING is going upward.

  Food, Clothes, Electric Power, FUEL

  ALL of IT.  Varying rates?  sure - but the trend
  of everything is "prices upward"

  (Well, everything except flaming ass-monkeys
   which seem to be at record levels, and with
   the laws of Supply and Demand.....)

  All while unemployment is at record levels.

  Welcome to "stagflation".

  Welcome back, Carter.

  Your comments on export vs. import show just how
  delusional you truly are.

  Export WHAT?

  Lollipops?

  Unicorns and glitter?

  How about "Hope and Change"?

  Oh, wait - The world is lining up to buy shitty
  Detroit iron. (not).

  The new Chrysler union-crapwagon "Imported from
  Detroit".  I think they'd do better exporting
  the hookers on Eight Mile.

  This country's balance of trade is so backwardly
  inverted that devaluation will bankrupt main street
  long before we see any benefit from "exports".

  Oh, and for the record "my BMW" isn't made in
  Spartanburg - any more than my Ferrari is made
  in Detroit (Fiat being the parent of both Ferrari
  and Chrysler now).

  Almost NOTHING of worth is "Made in America" anymore
  excepting my New Balance 993's.
