What a con job.
100 years ago, today: $4.87
40 years ago, today: $2.80
30 years ago, today: $2.20
20 years ago, today: $1.39
10 years ago, today: $1.60

Robust must mean slumped by 63% - One Time Constant?

Any boost of some 11% in the past decade certainly has to be
attributable to the White House running the printing presses full
steam.

The U.K. is in much better shape financially than
the United States. It's in most country's interest
to keep their currency cheap in relation to the
dollar. They can sell more widgets that way.
