sure, let's see. We could try to tank our economy to keep up with the US, that'd probably help.
With the weakness in the US $ that's already starting to happen. As said above, mills closing, etc.
How we doing against the Yen, the Euro? Does it matter?
One dimensionally, probably, it's called the Greenback. With the sheer powerhouse of the US economy, it is frustrating that there is very little we can do about it. The US$ has gone to hell against other currencies too.
US housing starts are on the decline (negative growth now) - Canadian mills start closing. If they rebound, they'll probably try to tax us again so we can't go after the business.
It's one thing to be proactive to keep our economy rolling, but really, what do we do to try to dive along side the US. That's gotta be a hard one.
I guess the question is, where should our $ be, who benefits and who gets hurt. For those of us importing a new guitar, hey, it's great. But as said above, if you don't have a job, any deal isn't a good one.
