Fed's Low-Rate Policy Has Driven The Dollar Down, And U.S. Trading Partners Aren't Happy

It's sure bet that our politicians can't learn from past mistakes. Fooling around with the value of our currency cannot be anything but bad news! If they devalue the currency, they also make our savings worth less! Are savers ever going to get a break here? I think these people making these decisions in the Fed all need daily urine tests to see if they are on anything more than orange juice for breakfast!
