Question

Help answer this question below.

How many times has the value of the US Dollar been artificially lowered, so other countries would not go bankrupt trying to pay their debt to the US? I know of at least 6 in the past few years.

    I think that you are misplacing "cause" and "effect" in your Q. And making a weird assumption that other countries somehow owe a lot of debt to the US, which assumption could not be further from the truth. The US is currently, has been for some time, and may forever be "the largest debtor nation in the history of the World, ever".

    • Then why are there only 2 or 3 countries that have completed their payments of funds owed to the US, from WW II? Let alone from then to now?
      The last time I read about the devaluation, the reason given was the dollar was too strong and that foreign entities (Governments) were having trouble paying their debts. Fact, not fiction.

    • Backing up a few feet...... Yes, the finance market is in a big mess and possible 50% reduction in the value of US Dollars may be imminent. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2228040/posts There are several other stories that detail the problem the US currently faces. However, when I wrote the question, I was actually thinking about the time period of a few years back, "Living in the Past." That said, there have been a few 'artificial' devaluations.
