Why Countries Can't Just "Dump" the Dollar

and economics, you always want to ask, you'll read what happens if you start selling our government government, what happens if they dump the dump the dollar. There's no or at least assets, because if you want to sell government, if they sell them to us, you get or a demand, demand at or they still asset. If they sell them to the French, they may get some assets from them, but now the French, I mean, the only way you can reduce foreign in the United States is to change it, consuming from us more than from them. When we buy a television set from Japan, if we buy sets from them, they buy consumables from us, the balances give them some investment asset, whether it's cash, or U.S. bond, or our studios, or our real estate, or different things. The only way that reverses is when we're running a trade surplus which we're miles away from. So, logically, you know, if you read classic economics that you would believe that our currency would have along or weaker, uh, over the years, would be but there and that's about is there's one variable. There's usually hundreds of variables and they operate with different impact at different times.
