Everything ! Wake up ! If it wasn't for the fact that Federal Reserve can print unlimited $ , do you really think that US economy would have survived until now ?

The thing is we hope US economy will collapse. The problem with that is that the worlds economies are pegged to the US. So if their economy falls into problems we will be facing problems too. The thing is we shouldn't have given US so much power over our countries.
The US prints $$ for its domestic economy so it doesn't ask CN to buy its debt ! The US is still a AAA rated nation & like Germany it enjoys pretty much a free ride with near 0% yields on its treasury bonds. You might not know how an economy works but printing money doesn't mean a thing when there are no takers for it, even today many financial institutions like the PF/MF industry across the world have to invest in govt & specifically AAA rated instruments that are hard to find. The size of the US economy & its insatiable thirst for merchandise imports(also most online payment service providers like Visa, Mastercard, Paypal are US firms) make it a default mode of payment not much else
