For decades the Canadian dollar was worth $.77 to our $1.00. Now the Canadian dollar is $1.07 to our $1.00.

And th Euro dollar, a brand new currency ,is catching up to us as well.

The Euro is worth US$ 1.46
The Australian dollar was worth over a dollarUS until 1984, when it was floated against other currencies. It went straight to around 96 cents, and bottomed out in April 2001 at US 47.75c
On 1 Nov 07 it hit a 23 year high at 93.43c.
Money is what Bush cares about, and he cares much less for people.
His Legacy? He will have no legacy, through the eyes of those whose legacy is evaporating by his authority.
Money can be passed down in a family until a foll from a generation just beyond the one that earns it, throws it away. There's always Jeb.

a tax code that has become hideously biased in favor of the rich
Could anyone explain this one to me using actual numbers of who pays what taxes?

Here's the deal: An obscure provision called the "alternative minimum tax" is
> going to end up raising taxes for tens of millions of middle-class households --

> Democrats want to cancel this tax increase for the middle class -- and pay for
> the shortfall by closing a massive new loophole that's allowing the richest
> investors on Wall Street to pay lower tax rates than you or I do.

In other words, the democrats (who created the AMT) want to decrease the AMT's effect on the middle class (an effect that was caused by the democrats) by creating more taxes.

Of course, that has nothing to do with the question I asked, but it was a good attempt since there is no straight answer to the question.

Warren Buffet has issued this challenge to his billionaire buddies: A million dollars to anyone who pays taxes at a higher rate than his secretary.

I just read that the debt use the fund the war now works out to $20,000 USD per American family.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that if you borrow money you have to pay it back.

Re: tax reform, it must be clear by now that the Republican pretensions of being 'fiscally conservatives,' or whatever is trashed, if not a joke to begin with. The US national debt has nearly doubled under Bush and his 'neo-con,' and Republican warmongers and war supporters.

To increase all this debt and continue to boast that there is no need to raise taxes can only make sense to the brain dead. Of course, a cheap dollar and double-digit inflation can help pay off this debt.
