Email from a software co. in Sweden that we do business with...
"Due to the instability of the US dollar, we are required to switch our pricing system to Euros. This will result in a 25% increase for our US customers."

They ARE giving US customers a 20% discount for a limited time, but that is STILL a 5% increase ovenight.

9. The country isnt destroyed, its just split up in two. The elite live...
in America and enjoy the freedoms and the great parts of the country and the rest of us live in AmeriKa and are in for tough road ahead. The elite's America will always be great for them and we will just eventually be allowed to live so we can physically run their country the way they want it.

3. I would predict the Euro is heading towards 1 to 1.60 against the US Dollar next.
1.50 per Euro is now a reality.

8. No surprise here. My son lives & works in Sicily, but is paid in
US $$. He's had to face this disparity for several years! Recently the difference has done nothing but give him a giant pay cut!
