Against the Euro the dollar is just so weak, and has gone down yet again this month. It is actually at a 14-month low based on the speculation that the Federal Reserve will lag right behind other central banks in boosting interest rates.

Dale Thomas who is the head of currencies in London said there is really no good news for the dollar. He works at Insight Investment Management, which oversees about $121 billion dollars. What does this mean for Americans? It means that the economy is just as weak if not weaker than the previous months of 2009. While the appearance and inflated numbers of homes coming back seems to look, or rather sound positive, Americans are not out of the water, and things may just get worse.

While some think that spending needs to be encouraged, proper money management should be what is encouraged by the Government. The stimulus was supposed to help people throughout the United states, but the printing of more money by the Government does not help to solve the economic situation in the US. Jobs which were once located here in the US have moved overseas and strengthened other economies such as China. This does not help to keep the money and spending of larger businesses here in the US but moves money overseas.

Lets look at how we can get people back working first before we just start handing out free money to everyone in hopes that will fix a serious financial wound. It is almost like trying to put a band aid on a deep wound. Being serious about the financial situation of the US means creating jobs and governing current laws about sending work overseas.

Will the dollar ever be worth what it used too? Well we can only wait and see how the economy turns out or turns around. Until then investments such as Bank CD rates and money market accounts will stay down as well until interest rates are raised by the Feds.
