Unfortunately, this free ride might be coming to an end.

I, for one, wish it would. The short-term benefits have been great, but, in the long-term, the dollar's reserve status has allowed our government to indebt us and expose us to the risk of heavy price inflation. Bad moon rising.

That is the problem, isn't it? Reserve status of the dollar has given America an incredible gift. Your politicians have squandered it.

There should have been a constitutional amendment to balance the budget. But, who needs the constitution anymore?
