"Why would other countries want us to be weak, especially since we send them so much money?"
All answer with some questions: Do we weaken ourselves by borrowing money from China in order to send it to other countries? Do we weaken ourselves by giving money to countries who then funnel the money to terrorist or criminal organizations? Do we weaken ourselves by having excessive deficit spending in order to send money to other countries? If you think the answer is yes to any of these, then you would probably agree that sending money to other countries and being weakened are not mutually exclusive propositions.
