Does the United States risk doing damage to our currency and how other nations use it with the stimulus/money printing that is going on?
- pjc50 7y agoLike the old joke about only having to outrun the other guy but not the bear, the US is only at risk if it ends up less stable than somewhere else and doesn't manage to trip them up on the way down. It's still hard to see any more realistic alternative; the EU is struggling with the same crisis, and the Chinese government doesn't even want its currency externalised.
