Letter: Clarifying the real value of the dollar

This is just a comment on the cartoon in Wednesday’s newspaper. According to The Wall Street Journal (Dec. 21), the U.S. dollar is worth 0.9412 euros. However, it takes 131.70 yen to make one dollar, and it takes 70.25 rubles to make one dollar.

I realize it’s just a cartoon and politics are politics, but facts are also facts. There is enough BS in the world; we don’t need any more!
