It all came from being cheap asses and basing everything outside of the US to reduce labor payout. Your knowledge of economics is somewhat limited. The reason labor is cheaper outside of the U.S. is due to the high cost of doing business here. You had the cause and effect reversed. The reason our dollar is now so weak is because our nation is in more debt than any other in the world, and they are now paying attention. Also, our treasury continues to increase the money supply, diluting the value of the money. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/stupid-question-on-gas-prices/197454)._
