#3 I don't remember them complaining when the euro dived to record lows against the dollar after inception. That coincided with the period when Boeing simply could not compete with Airbus.

#7 Weak $ means more useless junk, knives and books to buy online for me. Now, the best thing would be for it to slide down more against the euro, so it would make up for the last increases in USPS fees. USPS, what were you thinking!?
As long as I can spend away my money, it's ok for me, until the US and then the World cconomy, or the euro, collapse in a convulsis crisis that will ruin my standards of living and make me bitterly regret having wasted away all that dough.
I'm not exactly the type who thinks or worries about the Big Picture.
