Many economists will tell you that a weaker dollar will increase foreign investment in the US economy. It also makes our exports more affordable, one reason Japan tries to keep its yen cheap.

That is why USA has to stop concentrating on the war, and instead go for innovation, industrialization, attracting and retaining global talent.
Very entertaining opinion. In your country, when a crime is being committed, does the government do a cost-benefit analysis before taking action? For example, if you were being beaten to death, would it really matter how many pesos it costs to save your life?

Pretty rediculous, eh? So is the suggestion that we should allow economics the direct our foreign policy.
