Thanks a lot you conservative f*ck heads!


Stupid arrogant bastards like you should only be spectators at a ball game and nothing else.

1. On the day GWB was first sworn in, a Euro was worth ninety-four US cents.

2. It's not quite where he wants it...

he's aiming at a 36% decline.

3. Bush started talking down the economy as soon as he

was in the 2000 campaign. No other candidate (or either party) even questioned it. Wonder why that was?

It is his goal to destroy us for his own profit and Neo Con power. Empire Builders who want even their own to suffer. There is no patriotism or morals.

The British pound was about $1.50 of our $1.00 when we visited there in 1992. Today it is about the same but the purchasing power is even lower.

Just think the Brits (or should I say Blair and his gang of thugs) helped the Bush lie about WMD. Very few of them die. The budget is shot in Britain and yet they have so few there. Seems they are dipping into the military complex "honey jar" too.

The aim is to remove democracy from the developed nations of the world. When they said they were so bent on bring democracy and freedom to the world!! Orwellian blather that's for sure.

Yet they won't impeach. Now that's a conspiracy is there ever was one.

13. It went lower

The following summer, I was in Europe and the Euro was 84 cents.

16. I Remember...

I actually recall the dollar being worth 1.71 Marks, right before Germany changed over to the Euro. My cousin is coming to the states to go.... shopping. Conservatives have made America into a fricking shopping mall. I'm sure our forefathers would be proud.:sarcasm:

4. The pound is biting it, too. NT

5. It's sure working for me

I switched my entire pension to Euros a few years back.

That Iraq invasion and occupation compounded by slackness in the banking system have led an unbelievable clusterfuck. The truth is that even though my pension is secure on paper, a serious melt down will destroy that too unless I take early retirement. Hubby switched after me and we're reaching the point where we're seriously thinking that one of us should retire early for our security.

6. dupe

[trof]

7. Euro was $00.75 at initial changeover.

Wish I'd bought some.

[mac2]

8. It's not so much that the Euro economy is so strong but

that our debt and war is destroying ours.

[trof]

12. yep

[Cant trust em]

9. I held on to the 200 or so Euros that I had left over from my trip in the fall

I figure that at this point it's an investment.

[TheFriendlyAnarchist]

10. I'm spending next year in Europe too.

I'm gonna be fucked, heh.

[progressoid]

11. I know someone that converted her savings to Euros about 6 years ago.

We thought she was nuts.

Joke's on us.

[Elspeth]

14. Why does Bush (or the private Fed) WANT to devalue the dollar?

Are they trying to kill us?

[rucky]

15. The best way to prevent outsourcing our jobs to the third world

is to become more like a third-world country, so corporations will stay.

[fascisthunter]

17. This is True... Sad But True

Guess who pays the most in a change like that? We do... then the idiots at the top.

[Elspeth]

20. Crap. That makes sense too.

:(

18. i was in Europe for 2 weeks, i got back last Sunday and the exchange rate was comical

and not in a good way. Prague was just as bad but hella fun.

[uppityperson]

19. fun graphic...
