Your original premise was that the decreasing value of the dollar was increasing the deficit.

You're silly.

I guess I needed to post more of what you said to view it in context:

The massive U.S. Federal deficit, the equally massive U.S. trade deficit, and attempts by the government to stem the flow of manufacturing jobs to low cost economies all conspire toward even lower value for the U.S. dollar.

If I am mistaken regarding the point you were making...I apologize.

However; if you are saying that a large deficit tends to decrease the value of the dollar...I can buy that. But then, what is your complaint regarding a weak dollar? A weak dollar is a good thing when trying to keep jobs from going overseas.
