Description

From time to time claims and editorials advocating a strong (or weak) dollar are seen. Depending on one’s point of view, either a strong (or weak) dollar is good for the country, international trade, agriculture, or employment. Often, claims are based on emotions or political philosophy. Equally often, the arguments presented contain poor logic or inconsistent data.
