With EUR/USD being at 1.54, it may be a dip to buy, compared with a while ago when Euro touched 1.59.

It's all relative--I have a high school junior in L.A. who spends around $15 lunch.
Back when the Euro was around 1:1 things were a bargain, but at 1:1.50 +/- it's just sort of average. Espresso at the AutoGrill is still around €1.50.

We have spent all our wealth on an out of control military that is on the lose building tax havens in poor countries where US special iuterests flourish.

We need to stop the IRS from taking other people's money and spending it on defending remote countries where we don't exist.

Here is a pi chart:

Your monthly earning is 10 tacos

You get Taiwan Korea
6 tacos 1 Taco 1 Taco

Us business overseas get the other 2 TACOs by building a business near a US military base where there is not any tax.

Don't goto work tomorrow early. Let your boss accept you as late.

What will be officially the euro's standing, when oil hits $200 per barrel by the end of 2008? If it is already $127 per barrel today, then is $73 more unrealistic by December?
By the time state legislators vote to increase the price of food stamps, either welfare or Social Security then everybody on these programs will be dead! I feel sorry for the dumb radical Mexican who voted to spare the environment while starving every Mexican worldwide who escaped the economic rape Mexico just be also starved beside them.

If we drive a stake in the heart of the Presidency this November, gasoline prices should come down to $2.00 a gallon— if GWB doesn't try to search for weapons of mass destruction in Israel first. If we have a war with Israel, all bets on gasoline prices next year are off.

If we analyse the goat god scriptures of God of Israel, you can see where all of this craziness comes from. "I am "α"; I am "Ω." A goat has a beginning and an end: A magician god has no beginning or ending: ∞

Son/Daughter of Ra: “In Ra...I have no beginning; In Ra...I have no end. I am Omicron; I am Omega, I am all things great and small. I am infinity.”

When you believe in the goat of God Israel and his weeds, all of your sentences start to drool and slobber when you try to turn a goat god into a theocratic plan of salvation for Hollywood-America, Israel, and the world.

maybe people should consider going abroad outside of Europe. especially to developing countries. leaving your comfort zone is a great learning experience. and coming from the US, cultures in Asia, Africa, and Latin America are certainly more different than cultures in Europe.

Does this mean the 30 to 60 new cities being built in China
for between 10 million and 30 million people is not a key
driving force in the price of everything including oil!
What if both India and China were building a brand spanking
new automobile industry, who that count also?

With America's poor selling themselves quicker than you can say stop it, for nothing, as the price of an egg soon hits $10,000, what political party is set to stop a single thing, from being allowed to shamed facedly playing itself out?

As this great nation slips closer to $5 trillion in debt, which political party even comes close to allowing their money grubbing mouth to form these words?

Has anybody ever contacted the three key market regulators
to determine Bush's role today in increasing the price of oil in America and globally? Who contacted the Singapore International Monetary Exchange, the International Petroleum Exchange or the New York Merchantile Exchange to get FIA data to support this claim?
