That the USD is increasingly worthless in the world economy.

- Xichekolas 17y agoWhy not? US bonds are redeemed for US dollars. If the dollar becomes increasingly worthless, why would you want to hold the bond? Granted, I think saying the dollar is "becoming increasingly worthless" is being hyperbolic.
- aaronblohowiak 17y agoNo, because the loans have to be repaid in USD. The only "risk" then is the opportunity cost of not investing in other capital classes.
