Lloyd Blankfein, a billionaire and former chairman of Goldman Sachs, on the dollar: "We easily obtain financing. The dollar is a reserve currency. But you're worried about the stage of sudden bankruptcy, when people stop financing it. Because our creditors are rightly afraid that the US will default on its debts." And how does the US default on its debts? We borrow dollars and print dollars. So how can we default? We'll always have dollars to repay dollars.
