There are trillions of units of Bernanke's confetti everywhere.

Actually, there is only about $42 billion of actual confetti. The rest is digital 1's with lots of zeros behind them.

"We will not have a huge dollar collapse because we know that Europeans will print money as well."

It is Japan and China that are supporting the dollar. Look at a five day chart for USDJPY=X. Yen rose when FOMC cut. On Mish's thread, Yaniv and Bart13 have posted information for a long time about the correlation between Japanese liquidity and S&P returns, as well as information that shows the US Fed Rsrv is printing fewer dollars than people think. BOJ is printing them, and they are carried to the US for higher return! It is not in Bernanke's control.
