The dollar will have to fall a LOT further in order to (1) stem the tide of imported Chinese crap and (2) stem the tide of illegal migrants coming here to steal American jobs. Those are about the only two real reasons I could see for wanting a weak dollar, especially with oil climbing over $100 a barrel probably by the end of the year. The more the dollar weakens, the more energy costs (since we import virtually all of it), and the more it stifles the economy.

Weakening the dollar to spark domestic manufacturing won't work - unless you weaken it to the point where factory workers are getting $20 a week like in China.
