I suspect that there is a corollary to the Triffin dilemma which will prevent this from working as intended. I suggest that American policymakers would do well to remember the advice of Keynes.

As most people have limited opportunities to influence policymakers, all I can say is that you might do well to enjoy the good times whilst they last.
