In short, a strong dollar is bad for business, but good for the consumer.

Also, considering how bad the US economy has been, having a strong dollar means there's a whole bunch of other places that are doing worse then we are, which is pretty eye opening.

Seems the global economy as a whole is incredibly weak right now.

Perhaps you may want to clarify that a strong dollar is bad for US businesses and good for the US consumer. It would be the reverse for non-US entities. i.e. it would be bad for non-US consumers and good for non-US businesses.
