Question - Why does the Administration need a weak dollar?

[The Doctor.]

I heard the explanation once, but cannot remember.

Anyone know offhand?

[sui generis]

1. because an inflated weak dollar

means that foreign debt is also devalued; it makes it cheaper to pay it back or borrow more.

2. Allows their foreign partners to by our country at pennies on the dollar

Same thing happened under Reagan.

3. Not sure I understand your question completely

But a weaker dollar makes our exports relatively cheaper overseas.

4. Thanks... I know there was something more specific

but I fail to recall.

Thanks again.
