Everyone bashes Bush for different things, mostly his mishandling of the war. You know what Bush has fucked up? The damn economy. The US dollar is worth about as much as a pile of dog shit. It rots by the day and lowers in value. Getting a paycheck now is like buying a new car, the second you get it it's already decreased in value.I went to London in 2002 and traveled around Europe a bit and the exchange rates were already a collective kick in the nuts. They were rising daily and while I was over their the Euro surpassed the dollar in value for the first time. It was just slightly over so I would lose about 5 or so cents per dollar transfer to Euro. The pound was worth $1.57 so that was also a kick in the groin. Now? It's not even fucking close. The pound is worth 2 dollars and the Euro is worth $1.40 so you better saddle yourself up at the cheapest hostel if you plan on not drowning your bank account on a European Vacation.
At the end of 2002 the US Dollar was worth $1.57 Canadian. Now? They have drawn equal. So much for a cheap trip to Montreal. Remember all those times someone gave you back a Canadian coin instead of an American coin and you were annoyed? Well now the Canadian coin is worth fucking more money. How the hell does no one think this is the worst part of the Bush administration? Our dollar is worth nothing? The lower it slips the less people will want to invest in our country and the harder and harder it will be to afford to travel outside of the country. And I enjoy traveling. Fuck.
Can we get someone in the Whitehouse that thinks the Economy is important. Bring back Broadway Bill.
I guess on the brightside if it continues at this rate we may be able to bring all of our manufacturing back to the States cause our dollar will be worth such shit that it won't matter anymore.
Note: This is probably the only time I will ever or have ever discussed politics in my life. I just can't fucking believe that Canadian money is worth more than American money. What a joke.
