The dollar’s weak… no, wait, it’s strong!

Published by Jason Welker at 8:26 pm under

I like this commercial. It teaches us nothing about economics, but it’s amusing and brings some light to a rather dismal outlook for the US economy and falling dollar…

    Oh if only our economy were measured by the taste of a McDonald’s cheeseburger.
    Oh wait.
    They taste like crap.
