If the USA Government keeps printing money, what will happen to a typical affluent US citizen in the long term?

Inflation is the wrong answer. As history told us, the Fed is capable of taking inflation under control simply be adjusting interest rates.

The decline of the dollar seems to be a good thing because a week currency gives US companies a competitive edge when they compete with non-US companies. Most affluent US citizens invest most of their money in US companies instead of putting all eggs in one basket: the dollar.

Do you see a problem facing US citizens if the US Government keeps printing money in the future? If so, what are you going to do about it?

To let us understand your answer better, tell us whether you are...
1. A US government official or working for the Federal Reserve;
2. A US permanent residence/citizen (non-government and non-Fed);
3. A non-US government official; or
4. Someone who lives in a non-US country and doesn't work for the country's government.

If someone has been claiming unemployment benefit for more than three months why not make it obligatory for them to do some community service work each week. Nothing too taxing, just picking up litter in parks, removing graffiti and other menial task two or three days a week (with time off for interviews etc). This way they are giving something back to the community and keeping up the habit of working for a living. Refusal to work would result in no payment. Exceptions would be made for people not working due to health problems and the like. What say you?

For the record, I am strongly opposed to globalization. But if the North American countries (the USA, Canada, Mexico, and perhaps some Carribean and Latin American nations ... technically they are part of North America, too) formed a union similar to the European Union, would it work?? Or would it be extremely harmful to the U.S. and Canada, who are the only real economic powers in North America? Would there be ANY benefits to a North American Union?
