You don't know what you're talking about. The value of the dollar relative to other currency depends on two things:
A. the goods and services that can be purchased with it
B. the availability of it, setting the prices of those goods and services

OK, why then have Europeans gotten so much richer and Americans so much poorer over the last four years?  They can buy enormously more than we can - they're just plain better off than us, and it all comes down to having a strong currency.  The dollar is toilet paper compared to the Euro.

So I take it you'll be wiping your arse with dollar bills from now on?

Well.. if I were out in the jungle, and had to go.. and all I had were dollar bills and Euros to wipe with, you can bet I'd use the dollars!

Actually, interestingly enough, here in Thailand we use little sprayers like the dishwasher sprayer hose in a typical American sink, only attached to the toilet.  Very clean!

Opebo is as ignorant of economics as he is theology.  The great European economy that you speak of is not in great shape.  Have you looked at some unemployment figures for France and Germany?  The American economy is still the most robust worldwide and will remain so as long mainland Europe has archaic labour practices.
