Actually a weak dollar is not always a detriment as it allows other countries to purchase more of our products as their money went farther, and also brings in more tourism as the other counties visitors are getting more bang for their buck'. I personally experienced this while working at Bahia Honda State Park in the FL Keys back in the 90s.

**During the 1990s, Florida did experience a significant increase in international tourism, and a **
**weak U.S. dollar played a role in this growth****. **
**Here's why:**
* **Increased purchasing power:**** A weaker dollar means that foreign visitors could get more for their money in Florida.**
* **Theme parks and attractions:**** Places like Orlando were particularly successful in attracting international tourists, who sought out the theme parks and benefited from the favorable exchange rate.**
* **Florida's appeal:**** Even with a weaker dollar, Florida's inherent appeal " warm weather, beaches, and attractions " remained strong, enticing visitors from around the globe. **
**Overall, the combination of a weak U.S. dollar and the strong appeal of Florida as a tourist destination contributed to the rise of international tourism in the state during the 1990s. weak U.S. dollar played a role in this growth**.

Left leaning NPR/PBS poll - Validity highly questionable.

DANFORTH: IAI will spit out what you tell it. If you give garbage prompts, you get garbage results....

If info does not fit your worldview the it must be fallacious - Right?

By the way guy, I consider you once of the anchors of this sight - good for you, as one of the three anchors I had on my sloop was a 25 lb Danforth anchor : )

False news because:

Google AI Overview - In June, the U.S. economy added 147,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate fell to 4.1%. This figure surpasses economists' expectations and suggests a continued, albeit slower, expansion of the labor market.

I remember Harris' tie-breaking vote pushed through the [not really] Inflation Reduction Act]. the [supposed] American Rescue Plan.

Why is the USA responsible for the people in other countries? We're over 34 trillion in debt [and now days, with Trump in office, the left care about that].

To spend to send aid to other countries adds to our national deficit and debt. When you are deeply in debt do you loan money to anyone? -- rational answer would be NO!, but then again, liberals are a lot of things, but rational is not one of them.

How about the EU just up and send them more aid die the 'starving children].

Because the went 'over the line'. {ref The Big Lebowski," : )

Well, at least the market is doing well.

Also, [Google AI Overview]:Yes, U.S. personal income has generally been trending upwards. For example, in April 2025, personal income increased by 0.8%. This increase was partly driven by a rise in government social benefits and employee compensation.

Just depends where one lives as if living in NYC, LA, Chiago, that is not a a lot of money.

I guess those dems want to wait until the illegals drunkenly, hit and kill, innocent US citizens before, maybe, or not, they want to take action.

Just a reminder: the ILLEGAL ALIENS do not belong here - PERIOD!

No pity for Californians as they get/deserve what they voted for. The one thing we know about liberals/progressive dems is that they never learn from their mistakes, in fact they quite often double down.

First We take Manhattan

Actually it is the small business who weep,, but who cares about them, right?

For those without a clue: Approximately 46% of Americans are employed by small businesses, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. This represents about 61.7 million employees, according to the Office of Advocacy.

It 'threatens' but will that come to fruition, or just another 'sky is falling' lie Trump starting WW III, cause high inflation ?

She's a hack.

Violence, the normal 'goto' for the leftists.

Socialist Mayor - what could possibly go wrong...

If it fails, it will be due to dem influence to keep their fraud ongoing for their benefit.

The US/Trump is/was not at war - just a more surgical strike than clinton, obama or biden did with all their attacks on multiple MidEast countries during their terma in office.

... then let us see what is left down there if they bring in heavy equipment to dig them out. IMO all dead and walls collapsed.

If they are an ILLEGAL ALIEN, then they are a criminal by the nations laws which have been in effect for many decades.

I approve as much cheaper than flying them to Guantanamo Bay NAS Cuba.

The liberla run Nobel committee would never give a Republican, let alone Trump, the Nobel Peace Prize, yet o problem giving one to obama who had accomplished nothing with the exception of being liberal.

Back in 1974, when they give the prize to Yasser Arafat, proved, back then, that the prize had become a leftist joke and continues to be on to this day.
