It might be not bad. For you.

Perhaps you are an American. Whenever your government prints more dollars, because the rest of the world holds dollar reserves, the value of those reserves go down. So everyone else in the world basically finances the US money printing.

So, if you are an American, the dollar is not bad. Its actually very, very good.

But for the rest of the world (96% of the world population), its pretty bad. It is used as means to transfer their wealth to US.
