I also believe that as soon as all the new money is printed, that the $ will be devalued. As if they devalue the $ they can pay of dept with overinflated $'s. The US $ seems to be holding its value, even with the ever growing dept, that it is based on. This is confusing to me, as what is keeping the $ so strong? If hedge funds are moving their value from $'s to gold, then they must be worried about the $.
