With the unemployment numbers going higher, and the us gov't knows the REAL numbers, as opposed to the phoney ones they release to the media, and a midterm election in Nov 2010 they will need to get aggressive with $ devaluation to keep their cushy jobs, there is NO WAY imo that the dollar will be permitted to even maintain its current level with unemployment creeping up. We must devalue to make our exports cheaper or even more people will lose jobs, not what politicians like before an election.
