Comment: And when China and the rest of the world decides they no longer want to finance America's deficits, that will be the implosion of the dollar and the US economy. The world can no longer afford to finance US's trade deficits. I am not a protectionist by any measure, but to say trade deficits are ok shows a complete lack of economic understanding. The only reason why the US has gotten away with their large trade deficits is because they have the world's reserve currency. There will come a time when people no longer want this paper garbage which is the US dollar and that will be the end of the US.
