The Falling Dollar

[erpowers]

Does anyone know where someone can find information, mainly books, about why the U.S. dollar is falling, what effect the national debt has on the U.S. dollar, and how to stop the dollar from falling. I am interested in reading about why the dollar is falling.

1. I can give you the Cliff Notes version:

Why? Too many being printed (electronically and physically)
How to stop it? Quit printing them (electonically and physically)
Effect of national debt on dollar? Directly, none. (If i owe you $10 or $10,000,000 the worth of my $1 monthly payment is the same) But if i "create" my $1 monthly payment (electronically or physically) then the worth of each subsequent dollar becomes less and less.
