Captain Codpiece has come out in favour of the (memory of) the strong dollar. According to the Captain:

"We believe in a strong dollar and that the relative value of economies will end up setting the valuation of the dollar."

In this case I very nearly agree with Our Great Leader. I believe that the "relative value of economies" has set the "valuation of the dollar" but "strong" is not the word I would have chosen to describe that valuation.
