US wealth? Debased currency and a government that has trillions in unfunded liability. Someone who "feels like a million dollars" in the year I was born would now require six million dollars to feel the same way.

They are internationalizing US government debt. America buys stuff, we buy lots of stuff and if America stops buying the world will be in trouble. They want to decouple the world economy from the US economy, but our debt makes that impossible. They have to allow the US to have a virtual bankruptcy to sever the ties. America is basically your jerk neighbor who has every toy in the world and then declares bankruptcy and walks away.
