Dollar's clout sinks worldwide

Greenback loses clout as king of currencies

Antique store owners in lower Manhattan, ticket vendors at India's Taj Mahal and Brazilian business executives heading to China all have one thing in common these days: They don't want U.S. dollars.

Hit by a free fall with no end in sight, the once mighty U.S. dollar is no longer just crashing on currency markets and making life more expensive for American tourists and business people abroad; its clout is evaporating worldwide as foreign businesses and individuals turn to other currencies.

Experts say the bleak U.S. economic forecast means it will take years for the greenback to recover its value and prestige.

Negative dollar sentiment is growing in nations where the dollar was historically accepted as equal or better than local currency — and dollar aversion is even extending to some quarters in the United States.

It is all the comfort the cold hearted republicans have.

didn't the rich get richer???

[cawacko]

ouch, I'm "cold hearted" that hurts. Kind of like when Dave Chapelle said "cold blooded".

[uscitizen]

That is the tru meaning of "compassionate conservative" cawacko.
Just reverse anything a republican says by 180 and it is pretty close to correct.

[Topspin]

wow your a moron to say all republicans are anything

[uscitizen]

You put the all in there.
And I did say pretty close, which seems to work for the majority of the "official" republican stances.

[Topspin]

I'm as anti-repub and liberal as you can get. However, they in general kick the shit out of libs in business and economics. Dems kick the shit out of them on personal freedoms, rights, public programs.

[uscitizen]

Yeah the republican policies have kicked our economy into the toilet.
