-- Joe F., Connecticut

How low are we going to let the dollar drop before we start to support it? At the pace we are going you won't have to print dollars anymore just open up more foundry's and make more coins. Well at least they last longer and are much more difficult to counterfeit.
-- Tony P., Illinois

"Will we control the value of the dollar versus the euro or will we allow the euro to dictate the exchange rate?"
-- Louis S.

"Why are food and energy prices excluded from inflation figures when they make up the bulk of the products experiencing inflation, and certainly the most visible signs of inflation?"

-- Randy M., Massachusetts

"Do any of you folks know the current cost of a gallon of milk in comparison to the cost last year at this time?"
-- Mike J., Texas

"Why doesn't the liberal media give the president more credit for a great economy?
-- Bob N.
