I think you are conflating a stronger dollar against the wrong cause. The strong dollar is here because of the interest rate hikes and global market insecurities -- it is lower risk and higher base interest to plant yourself on USD right now. Its the side effect for trying to temper inflation but not directly related to the buydown of Fed monies in market nor is it related to GDP growth at all (we are flat).
