And if the US govt lets Americans lose their jobs, then they have more people on welfare, and less and less people paying taxes, which keeps the entire system stable.
Picture it like this - You're a farmer. You just collected your harvest, and a famine is going around making all the soil in the world unusable for the next 2-3 years. Do you horde your harvest and save it for your family to survive through the crisis, or do you continue to sell your crops for the sake of trade/profit on it? And no, you don't have enough to do both.
