The Euro is falling hard too. While we watch the daily gyrations of either one compared to the other, they are both falling against reality (gas, food, raw materials, etc). The true test isn't how many you get for your dollars when you get off the plane, its how much actual stuff you can buy with what you have. It ain't much in either case and will get worse in both.
