The ONLY reason our ship has not sunk is that they are plugging the holes with freshly printed dollars and even though it’s on it’s hands and knees our economy refuses to die.
The dollar is the world’s “reserve currency”. That’s why.
Not many Americans understand what this means. They will understand profoundly, when this is no longer the case.
At that point they will clamor, no, beg, for government to “do something” of course.
