american dollar

[evobevo]

whats up with the american dollar ?

canadian dollar is .97 to the dollar.
philippine peso is 43.595 to the dollar, 56 three years ago.

i thought i'd never see the day the canadian dollar would be worth as much.

Canadians are invading and more are expected. Toronto Dominion just bought out Commerce Bank recently.

Maybe because:
1. large Federal deficit spending (due to the war)
2. a huge US trade deficit
3. a weak US economy
4. other world economies that are getting stronger

Thanks GW.

Yeah it was so annoying. Canadian prices aren't dropping so things are more expensive there now. Back then I used to love shopping in Canada cuz it was so much cheaper, but now, I'm thinking screw that, I don't make Canadian dollars, I'm earning American. My mom (who lives in Vancouver) is saying, wow Canadian dollar is pretty much equal to US now, Canadian economy must be awesome. I told her, uh no mom, it's actually opposite, US economy just sucks.

Sucks for my dad as well (who lives in the Philippines). He's earning Philippine peso, providing for a family in Canada. With the value of Canadian dollar going up, he has to spit out more money to compensate, as he's accustomed to the US dollar with a higher value than Canadian dollar.

Meanwhile it sucks for me period. I need a fat raise lol.

I went to Europe for the summer and was destroyed by the conversion factors.


$1.00 USD = $0.75 Euro
$1.00 USD = $0.49 Pounds

Can you imagine losing half the value of your money! WTF!

I went to Europe, back-back-back for the past three years, and it was around .75-.80 per dollar to Euro. It has not changed much, and only minimally.

Canada has an open free market and they invest in Hemp and have been doing business with hemp and trade that have earned billions of dollars per year.

Your optimism amazes me.

I guess when you live in an alternate reality, its easy to stay optimistic?

Actually you should read up on it before you contradict your mom. The Canadian economy is doing very well. With oil prices being so high the oil they are putting out is quite valuable.
Our low dollar value will stimulate export, so it is not a total loss.

You're kidding, right?

[/Fox news brainwashing]

The US economy IS weak and likely IN a recession.Â* Do you think govt'.s make panic moves like lowering the short term borrowing rate by 3/4 of a point because the economy is thriving??Â*

0 - 1.5% growth in the US economy, depending on who you believe.
6% unemployment rate in CA; higher than the Nat avg.Â* Highest in years.
Maybe you're mistaking a BIGGER CA economy for a BETTER economy; not too versed in France's economy so I'll plead some ignorance there.
Uh, everything is becoming expensive?Â* That's why the dollar is weak.Â* Yeah. okÂ* :idiot2:
Don't know what International business you're working in, but in mine, companies are shifting away from accepting the greenback and now want payment in their native currency.Â* Less risk of loss.Â*

Dude, put down the pipe.

[ChrisF]

In the face of a coherent argument, insult. Ah the debate tactics of an uneducated moron! I recognize them well. You represent the intard-net at it's finest - complete with the inability to form complete thoughts or sentences. Bravo to you sir.

Yes, your e-penis must be very large since you must have millions of dollars yet drive an EVO. Wow, you baller you! I couldn't possibly compete with your financial brilliance. The stupidity of people on the internet never ceases to amaze me.

[Terenus]

Was this even an argument? WTF?

[ultraflip]

socalevo.net team will now from this point relinquish any comments made by CASH$ MONEY as they have absolutely nothing to do with anything


public warning

[ChrisF]

I should have known better than to attempt a discussion of economics on this board with a wigger no less.Â* Silly me Â*:D

[VladEVO]

Peace n grease ;)







I had to go to Urbandictionary for that one.
I must be hard living in Orange County and talking like that. Everybody around you just has these puzzled looks on their faces after any kind of communication takes place.

Last time oil prices went up this fast things were not so good either.
I believe Carter had just been elected. I wonder what will happen after Obama is elected.
