The dollar is being wilfully pushed to ridiculous levels of inflation.
Real inflation has been up around 10% for 10 years or a touch more, and the recent printing exercises - even with the massive fall in house prices that'll accelerate as the interest rates rise for mortgages - will push commodities up and therefore everyday inflation up massively.
Nasty stuff, and the pound is heavily exposed to it as well.
("Expelled" was Stein's Anti Evolution/Pro ID movie. Total nonsense.)
