US market activities only account for maybe 10% of total economy activities in the world. However, US dollar is using for almost 60% of total world economy. (for example, oil, gold are all priced using US dollar)
Who has the right to print US dollars? US government only. As a result, if US want more money, they can just print it as much as they like.... UNLIKE other countries, they need to EARN those money.
US has so much debt... how to solve it? First, lower interest rate. (the interest rate is at all time low since 2001, lower interests rate means US government don't need to pay out much interests for borrowing money) Second, deflate US dollar value. (US dollar to Euro is at all time low now, and dollars is looking weaker and weaker in the future)
As u can see, although US government borrow a lot of money, those money are actually "free money" (because the interests rate is low and long term weakening of US dollars)
who land US government money?
1. China, 2, Japan, 3. Taiwan, 4, Korea
those 4 countries but the most US bills.
On the other hand, those 4 countries are working so hard to earn money (by becoming world factories, China making shoes, computers, and Japan making cars, cameras, Korean making LCD and DRAM.. etc) and land those money back to US government (by buying T-Bills) without asking anything in return. (stupid? i think so)
how to turn it around?
those 4 countries should make good use of those T-Bills. don't just buy and keep them in the basement.
