1/ Trade deficits allow the US to export the Dollar.
2/ Countries invest those Dollars in US government bonds.
3/ Many buyers of US bonds = lower financing cost for US government.
(This is called the “exorbitant privilege”.)
Now reverse it:
1/ Less trade deficits.
2/ Less money to invest in US bonds.
3/ Higher government financing costs.
What am I missing?
