    In case anyone was wondering what exorbitant privilege was:

    “The term which has been in place for a very long time is that we have ‘exorbitant privilege’. That we end up paying a much lower cost for financing our deficits and debt, we have much greater capital flows and attractiveness of the dollar and assets, because of these things,” he said.
