由于美元具有国际核心货币的地位,美国可以独自背负巨额的本币债务,不会像较不发达、存在原罪问题的债务国那样,受到货币攻击。在没有通货膨胀的情况下,美国几乎可以无休止地从国外借债,弥补其巨额财政赤字。从某种程度上说,这是一个‘良性’循环。

As the U.S. dollar has the status of an international core currency, the United States can bear huge amounts of its own currency debt alone and will not be subject to currency attacks like the less developed and debtor countries that have the original sin problem. In the absence of inflation, the United States can borrow almost endlessly from abroad to make up for its huge fiscal deficit. To some extent, this is a ’virtuous’ cycle.
