maybe it is worth having a weak $ for a while
america has a huge current account deficit ( too much importing v too little exporting )
no country ( even america ) can survive indefinitely on what is effectively "credit" ( otherwise your creditors like china/japan/europe/other asia end up "owning" your assets )
usual solution is to devalue currency & try & export your way out
currency is already devalued, so better for american currency to stay like this for a while ( but screws american tourists abroad ) & export more & get a more balanced economy - better in long run
