The printing of the US Dollar is dictated by the US Federal Reserve/Treasury. Greenbacks are not backed by the gold standard any longer, worthless fiat money. We are printing worthless paper and that's why the value of the US Dollar is going down the drain. Other countries continue to buy to support the current value, so that they do not lose their investments. We don't have the money to support the countless wars or bailouts of banks, etc. We're borrowing money just to pay the interest on all the trillions of loans that we have taken from China, Japan, etc. from around the world. I hope the Qatari Riyal un-pegs from the US Dollar. Rambling could keep going on, but I'll spare you readers. Our gov't policy on spending makes me so mad!
