Why do the neocons believe that a weaker dollar is a good thing?

Question

Everybody's life savings now has less buying power and they think this is a good thing. The Canadian loony has passed up the dollar. That is the bush legacy.

Answer 1

Neocons believe all kinds of fallacies. Have you ever heard their fairy tale about the "invisible hand" of the market? Sure, there's one that picks our pockets, but that's supposed to be a good thing, according to their sociopathic mentalities.

Answer 2

Here's what we need to do to change things:

Our country, for the average American citizen, is almost destroyed.

We need to put politicians in both parties on notice. We keep the Constitution, hold special elections--first have a yea or nay no-confidence vote on the current administration, if yea, we hold additional elections. The result of the elections should be the replacement of those in all three branches of government, executve, legislative, and judicial. Institute term limits and campaign contribution limits.

Destroy the slanted media that is owned by globalist monopolies and replace the slackers with real jounalists who are willing to investigate and report without bias or the advertisers approval and stop using the White House and propaganda machines to do their reporting for them with prewritten news releases.

Put the government to work for the people. Launch a Manhattan Project style search for the best, least expensive alternative fuel to drive this nation. Say goodbye to oil and the Middle East will have to go to work instead of fighting with everyone who doesn't believe as they do.

Find a way to provide health care insurance at a low cost by re-doing the entire medical system in this country.

Take the power away from global coporations. Create American jobs at home for America people.While government statistics show our unemployment rate to be around 6 percent, some experts estimate that it is really between 10 and 11 percent if all the Americans who have exhausted unemployment benefits and just given up looking for work were counted. Put every American who needs an income to work.

No more illegal aliens--no excuses--you go back home. Slow immigration and make sure those who threaten this county leave this country. No more enemy aliens (an alien living in a country that is at war with his own country).

Promote family life, encourage young couples--with affordable housing and community support.

Nationalize all foreign holdings in the US. Kick BP out.

Fumigate the Department of Education--house clean. Revamp the education system with a new hands on approach to education. Tell the truth in textbooks--no international propaganda.

Get international policy institutes out of our decision making process.

Stop the dangerous trade with China and the import of its goods to the US. Tell the Pacific Rim that it's on its own.

Eliminate the United Nations and the World Bank. They want to destroy the sovereign country of the United States of America.

Allow the American citizen to excel and continue to do the miraculous job of growing the nation that it did before 2000.

Send the Bush family to the moon or Madagascar or Mexico, but get them and all their cronies out of this country.

Here's my question to you--can you do this, do you have the will or are you too dazed and beaten down, American?

Well get off you behind or your knees, whatever, and let's go--let's turn our country around!

Answer 3

apparently all those year's under Reagan the economy was horrible and he was stupid since the dollar was the most valuable currency in the world?

why didn't Reagan just devalue it since it's so great? he was so stupid apparently?

and we clearly want to be more like those nations that have low rated currency... China and Mexico... that's where I want to live!

is anyone else tired of Republicans "trickling down" on you and telling you "it's raining"?

Answer 4

They just don't SEE it.

They translate a higher limit on the credit cards and a refi on the mortgage as a "better economy"

I remember somebody a while back coining the term "Voodoo Economics"

Now whom might that have been?

OH NO - not their HERO!

Answer 5

They think it will mean more exports to foreign countries, but since we don't produce as many things in this country like we did 30 years ago the increase won't be significant.

Answer 6

The scarier thing is who has been buying all of our war debt... China which actually has weapons of mass destruction. Pretty soon they will be 'reinvesting' in America (ie. buying up American corporations).

Answer 7

When you have your money invested in foreign currency, it makes your money go much further when trying to monoploize America.

Answer 8

I can understand why you wouldn't know. The affect makes our goods cheaper which makes us more competitive and we sell more. You look up the rest..god!
