Sir, some are clearly saying precisely that. I've attached a chart of the U.S. dollar - it reflects the condition you suggest.

We might well join the others post-election. I keep wondering if the crises referred to by Biden and Gen. Powell might not be an economic and monetary crises, perhaps made worse by those who are not our friends.

The U.S. has big budget deficits, and the rest of the world lends us money.

What if that stops? What if they demand higher returns on their money?
