I don't know anything about excessive printing. Foreigners say what they say because they are jealous of America. Believe me, I know. I lived abroad for 10 years.

What about the so-called excessive printing of dollars by the printers, is that a bad thing and how much is actually being printing per year ?
Why do Foreigners think that spells the doom for the U$D long term, especially Brits - are they hoping for a strong quid or is this a serious note ?

OK - I know your current mantra is that "any sovereign nation ..." is immune to spending or what have you.
However, some bow ties are thinking in the following steps :
1. addressing deflation with cutting rates and printing money ( which is to be injected into the "system" )
2. 1 leads to inflation later
The example given was 2001/2002 - the lower rates fueled the bubble which had all sorts of inflationary effects upon commodities.
However, same bow ties are giving up on the U$D since the external deficit is $13 trillion and this is only one side of the accounting sheet.
