Yesterday, President Bush said:

“We’re strong dollar people in this administration, and have always been for a strong dollar, and believe that the relative strengths of our economy will reflect that.”

“The best way to reinforce our strong dollar policy is to keep taxes low in the United States, ease regulatory burdens, become less dependent on foreign sources of oil and make it clear that we’re for free and fair trade.”

Hasn’t that been the policy of the Bush administration over the past 8 years? And doesn’t the 41% drop in the value of the dollar against the euro during the Bush term prove that those policies *don’t *work?

It’s something voters should think about, since McCain’s economic policies are very similar to those of President Bush.
