The dollar just isn't worth much today.

Read this The buck doesn't stop here; it just keeps falling

Hear is the lead: "AP - 38 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Things in the U.S. sure are tough. Brother, can you spare a euro? Signs saying "We accept euros" are cropping up in the windows of some Manhattan retailers. A Belgium company is trying to gobble up St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch, the nation's largest brewer and iconic Super Bowl advertiser
"

As the dollar drops in value, the price of oil, (which is linked to the dollar), goes up. Is oil going up for the Euro?

It might take time to get new laws in place. But the government could still take some type of action now.

Everyone expected fuel prices to go up around the holiday weekend. Thr only thing that is different is the fact that they are at all-time highs now.
