No one knows what a dollars
worth, but we know that as the Euro goes up, the dollar goes down, and 70%
of our dollars are overseas. We are about as set-up as we were before the
depression hit.


Huh?

The euro goes up, the euro goes down. It's been down for years and is
now up a bit from its day-of-issue exchange rate.

The Great Depression was mostly brought on by beggar-thy-neighbor
tariffs, notably the Smoot-Hawley trade bill. In other words, if you
want a depression, you're more likely to get one if you vote for one
of the current crop of Democratic contenders.
