The Euro is now worth just over $1.48, its highest rate since being launched in 1999.  That is supposed to make US “made” goods more attractive for “export.”  Create jobs for working Americans.  Maybe that’s why flipping burgers was moved from a “service” job to a “manufacturing” job by the US Labor Department.  How does four dollar a gallon gas sound for coal in your stocking?  Barrel oil gets cheaper for our “allies” and crack still costs less than a value meal.  Happy (wartime, yes we are at war sez the decider) Thanksgiving.  Dean, Pelosi, Reid, Edwards (soicial security crisis monger) are you listening?
