moses wrote: we should have kept europe as ours when we saved them from hitler We sure tried. But once their economy overtook ours in production thanks to public spending, universal health care and fair labor laws...well, they just started doing better, didn't they. Now we have to borrow from them to kill Iraqis because Dubyah wanted their oil fields...for his own personal portfolio. See, George isn't that stupid. As he is the son of an oil baron, he knew that he had the U.S. army at his disposal to take what he wanted. Oil triples in value, he gets rich. The U.S. army seizes the fields for his own investments, he STAYS rich. We buy into this "war on terror" nonsense and we send 4,000 of our children to die for him. Now our currency is in the pits? So what? Bush has got investments in Euros. No skin off HIS back. Disclosure: McCain will keep the sacred war on terror going for another 100 years. Just as dollars were legal tender in Russia & Argentina 10 years ago (replaced now by the Euro) so will the Euro be in the U.S. Better get used to this because it's just the start.

Hang onto your Confederate Dollars and Monopoly Money, its all liable to be worth more than the BUSH Peso soon ! Ed, Your post a snap shot of the way our liberal media reports on the issues. You are playing a game of smoke and mirrors. As Obama would say, you are trying to hoodwink us. The 'value' of the dollar can go up, but still fall below the value of a foreign currency. The true 'value' of the currency you use is found within it's purchasing power, not how it compares to the purchasing power of another currency. For example, when Bill Clinton became president, the dollar was 'worth' 123 yen. When Clinton left office, it was worth only 109 yen. As a comparison, since Bush took office the dollar is 'worth' about the same as when he assumed office... 106 yen. If we assume an economic disaster hits Europe next year, and the Euro suddenly falls in value, does that mean the dollar suddenly is stable and worth more again? Of course not. The reason the liberal media is suddenly using the Euro as a benchmark (as opposed to the yen, which was the practice when the Euro was depresssed), is the fact that the Euro is rising due to high interest rates there. Had the Euro remained a weak currency, and the yen was rising, you liberals would be using the yen as the benchmark to show disaster in the making. If you want the dollar to 'rise' in 'value' against the Euro, then demand your government raise interest rates to 6% or 7%. Watch how fast the Euro falls in 'value'. Of course, that will not be necessary. Once Obama is President, the liberals will go back to using the yen as a benchmark, and will show us how strong the dollar is becoming.

It is a very smart business move. Were lucky to have the business, and many summer resort areas are hurting so far this season. The East End has been able to stay fluid, and these Europeans tourists are a big part of it.

The demise of a great country is evident when its own people prefers the currencies of other countries. Thanks to Bush and his failed economic policies of spend and borrow, the dollar is good for one thing and only one thing around the world, wiping you know what!

Eight years of Buffoon Bush Republican policies and the dollar is going the way of the currency of Zimbabwe. Accepting Euros is the logical thing for business people on the East End and is chump change compared to what the Europeans are buying in terms of US businesses and real estate.

Once Obama is President, the liberals will go back to using the yen as a benchmark, and will show us how strong the dollar is becoming. Calling yourself "Loyal Democrat" is the fun part. You are not because your rhetoric shows very much to the contrary. That said (and clarified), please note that with inflation running at the rate that it is, the value of the dollar is, in fact, in free fall. It's purchasing power is down both in the U.S. and abroad. That it is stable against the yen shows only the strength of the euro and how the debt laden Japanese economy is almost as weak as ours. You double talk was quaint. I'll give you that.

I don't like the idea of stores allowing euro's as payment, however, this is America and we are free to do business the way we want. The fact is, euro's are being spent but the tax revenue is still being generated from the sale. In the end, that is what counts! Revenues from tourist dollars are minimal as are the taxes collected on sales. I would be optimistic if we produced products for (cheap) export but that is not the case either. No one wants our cars. We don't manfacture electronics and they have their own healthy agriculture. A strong Euro means high purchasing power for Europeans on American equity markets. They are now in (and excersizing) a position of being able to buy entire American companies. This means they will be making business decisions that directly effect the American labor force and economy. Plainly put, the U.S. is for sale, cheap.

Soon the only thing those federal reserve notes will be good for is wiping your arse as they will be worth less than toilet paper. Your government continues to rob you through taxation and inflation until there is nothing left. A rope is what the scum in Washington deserve.
