parity with the Swiss franc........my god, I remember when I got about 4! No wonder the US tourists are staying away! On the other hand, I am filling my suitcases when ever I am in the US! Even EU made goods are MUCH cheaper there!
Maybe it will change when the US administration changes and there are several years of improvements. Not to forget that the US is also an oil producer and they have come from behind in the past. Not time to abandon hope...just yet.
-always the optimist!
