Yeah no S***...Swell!!! Living here in Greece off of my pension from the military, believe me I am seeing a downside to our economy. Lucky for me that I don't live in a high cost area. But however with the shrinking dollar a lot of companies in Europe are hurting. Exports are going no where in places like France, and Germany. Airbus is in a world of hurt because now it costs more to buy any of their planes compared to Boeing. Even though our exports are cheaper which is helping businesses state side, the downside of it is the prices of our imports. Gas is a major issue all over the world as far as the price goes, it's just as expensive here to buy gas as it is in the States. Until our dollar gain some significant ground we're going to be in a world of hurt for sometime to come.
