Printing the dollar is essentially an attempt to turn the US into China.  Rather than force China up to American standards, the approach has been to bring the US down to theirs.  It's sad.  The debt is a whole other terrible issue.  Invading countries for no reason has taken its toll.  The US has so much debt per citizen right now I don't know if it will ever climb out of the hole.

Yes, but why hasn't the U.S. dollar depreciate to crap like it should have already?  What's keeping it up?

I think every country is printing money, and deflating the values of their currencies. so while the dollar is worth less, so is every thing else, so in comparison they dont change much against each other. everyone just pays more for everything

This is true, but I don't think there's a country out there with the amount of debt that the U.S. is currently sitting on (11 Trillion and rising?).  I honestly don't see an explanation as to why prices of goods and services hasn't skyrocketed in relation with their money printing.
