The dollar continues to fall

The dollar is continuing its slide against the Euro, undeterred by President Bush's commitment to a strong dollar.

With the dollar falling, interest rates rising, the national debt growing, and the trade defecit expanding the US economy is growing less attractive to dollar buyers.
