I think the author tends to agree with you. As the dollar depreciates, it will become less attractive. Foreigners will have less interest in US instruments and financing our debt.

another side to this, Joe
it pertains to the size of the money needing to find a place to invest
and the sheer size of the US credit markets that has no rival

Asia feels obligated to invest in USTBonds and GSE agency debt, partly because nowhere else can accommodate the size of the money

hey, I would like $20 billion in Deutsche Telekom !!!
not gonna happen
hey, I would like $20 billion in French govt debt
not gonna happen either

they could accommodate only 5-10% of that
but not in the USA
we have a race going on now
which will outpace the other first?
USGovt debt plus GSE debt?
or available Asian trade surplus seeking investments?

I say our debts will far outpace
thus trouble
