&gt;The reason why the US dollar is used as a reserve currency worldwide is because we do make active attempts to balance spending and revenue

Lol, we haven't done that in over 20 years.

Actually, we have. Most countries deficit spend; the U.S. (until perhaps the last five or six years) had done a really good job at keeping that debt level substantially below the country’s annual GDP levels.  So if you have a choice between keeping your money in US dollars, or Zimbabwean dollars, the choice was clear despite both countries deficit spending.
