    Well, one thing that will happen is that people will slowly start dumping the dollar, which will rob the US of much of the leverage it used to have in international markets.

    The weak dollar may have been good for China, who no one ever trusted anyway. But we're just selling our trust to the man in the black hat for a couple of pennies.

    the weak dollar is good for exports. Too bad we import more than we export.

    "crime boss Tony Soprano gathers his crew chiefs together for a dressing-down. The 2002 recession is in full swing, but that is no excuse, he tells them. They are not earning enough for the family. He asks his consigliere,Silvio Dante, to name the two industries that are known to be recession-proof. "Certain aspects of the entertainment business,” Mr. Dante says. “And our thing.'"

    get real...Anhauser Bush/Adolph Coors..and where do you think these breweries got their start...well from Immigrants from the old country...and they brought their recipes with them...you are a child who thinks it is not cool to support US local /products as those from a far away place have the mystery and glamor and a higher price...so they must be better!
