It's true the dollar is weak, americans need to stop borrowing and save!!! Another thing to keep you canuks and others from crying too much, I keep track of all the taxes I pay to the penny, 42.6% and I still pay for my health care on top of that about 15k a year. In the states you have to remember taxes are a hidden in language type of game i.e. fees, license, registrations, mills, levies, and don't forget 42.5C a gallon state and federal gas tax, plus duties, tarriffs don't get me started....Bottom line weak dollars,the result of paying too much interest. Thanks federal reserve.
