Can the current US economy be fixed by printing more dollar bills by the fed.

I know that US Dollar is the Global Reserve Currency. Does being a reserve currency allow you to print as much as u want without hampering your economy ?

Do you forsee any chance of the reserve currency being replaced sooner ?

    Of course not, that would just cause massive inflation.

    No, it would only make things worse. We need to go back on the gold standard.

    No, does not work that way… what we need is more manufacturing to sell our goods..but high prices, wages and crooked banks and loan companys ruin that

    That will only cause hyperinflation and the U.S will no longer be a superpower.

    No not at all. You see, printing more dollar bills may help a bit. But in the long, like maybe a year down the line, it will not help. Printing money means the amount of money increases. With the number printed higher, the dollar becomes less and inflation becomes a bigger problem. So more dollars created means increased inflation.

    No. The more notes are printed, the less value they become and prices skyrocket (inflation).
