Explainer to the rescue!

I've written about it a few times in the last few weeks, but Slate.com's Explainer article today is a great way to read about some of the other repercussions the Dollar is facing right now.

Quick excerpt:

One American greenback is now worth about 0.71 euros, or 0.49 British pounds. Five years ago, the dollar and the euro were about the same in value

I would encourage anyone with even a passing interest in the topic to read the Explainer article. They are usually extremely well-written and stay on-topic to really give you a better sense of the topic at hand.

Not that I won't keep writing about it in a crazen "Lou Dobbs hates immigration policy" kinda way!
