i know... its crazy.  you would think it would be the number one story on the news every night.  it barely gets a mention, because i think most Americans don't understand how currency effects things.
It is especially hard for a guy like me that sells imported commodity (seafood).  I have to tell this story day in and day out, to people who should understand it.  They usually just look at me and scratch their head when I tell them this is the reason their prices are increasing 15% year over year.
