Again, you have not explained the lowering value of the US dollar!

Some other currencies have higher yields. So what?

When foreign governments or individuals invest their dollars in the US, they expect a return, either in yearly profits = money paid out in dollars leaving your country, or to sell those assets at some point at a profit= money leaving your country.

When they sell assets, they still hold dollars.

Go ahead, and believe there is no risk in a weakening dollar, but like I said iy is a reflection of your economic health.
Remember, other countries invest in the US not just for the return, but for the security. On that point I will agree with you, its safer here right now than in other areas, but investments are fickle and a slow down in our economy will scare many of those investment dollars elsewhere.
