The dollar against almost all other currencies is extremely strong. Four years ago when I was in Europe for three months the exchange rate was 1 USD = .62 Euro and this past spring when I was again in Europe (Spain) it was 1 USD = .92 Euro. And against the pound it is almost the same ratios. Since I live in the U.S. I'm glad to hear that,in spite of Obama.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greece struggled a lot to keep it, as Spain, Portugal, Italy and so on. Euro is sliding against the dollar, which is a very good thing. It means that european's goods will be cheaper in the States and US goods more expensive in Europe. The British pound is getting down against the euro and wil get more down in March when UK will have to activate the point 5 of the european agreement : how to quit European Union. It is going to be such a mess, thousands of laws to rewrite... I think UK will rethink about leaving in one way or another. Frankfurt, Paris and Milan are struggling to get the City to their place...

I used to rent one my places in Europe to Newyorkers and every month they had to pay more and more dollars for the same amount of euros Now the dollar is getting up again, which means for European to spend more euros for the same thing if they are going to the US. Look at that : if you buy a BMW car for 45 000 euros, it will cost you today 46 800 $. If the dollar gets back to parity (one dollar = one euro) you will spare 1 800 $. Is that clear for you ? Perhaps you misread my comment. Four years ago I paid 1 dollar US to get .62 cents Euro. This past spring when in Spain and Milan I paid 1 dollar US to get .92 cents Euro. Is this more clear. I think we are agreeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgerunner Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 But if UK leaves EU the Germans will have to financially support all other freeloading EU nations alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, UK is a pain in the ass for Europe : never wanted to be in, always trying to cheat the other for more money ('I want may money back', said Mrs Thatcher'). UK is a US colony, more or less, offering a very capitalistic view of econony and trying to force Europe to adopt it. That will never work as Europe is more social and humanistic than the US. We killed like 50 millions of people in two europeans wars, so we want to stop that and get peaceful and united. With the Brexit vote, UK lost a lot of its power and influence in Europe. We have some kind of Trump politicians in Austria, France, Germany and Italy, but the election of Trump is pushing hard against them. Germany is powerful and weak. What works is the alliance between France and Germany. France has the army, the nuke and the diplomacy. The level of life is about the same in Germany and in France. France has a high rate of unemployment but also a high rate of births - which is the weakest point of Germany, hence the Syrian emigration asked by Frau Merkel. In the US, California is paying for the poorest states around the country. Who is complaining ? Not even, or rarely, California. The German are paying, yes, and will continue to do so, as to get safe and prosperous. As California does. UK never paid for anybody. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, but you know nothing about the U.S. economy.California is essentially bankrupt and businesses are leaving that state because of their socialist,high tax,over regulatory policies.Socialism is the cause not the cure for EU problems,too many people paid for producing nothing.That's all I have say about that.Back to talk about Kami,Kristy and Heidi, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
