The reason we do it is because it furthers our own national defense strategies. We do very little from a military stand point that isn't based around some sort of self serving interest. 

We did it in the pa$t to $tabilize market$ and make $ure American companie$ operating in other countrie$ (mining re$ource$ or u$ing lax law$ to develop technology) didn't experience too much turmoil. 

But in the push for America to be more 'global market friendly' we've devalued American products and labor to the point where wages are shrinking. We can't continue to have US workers paying to make sure US companies have a stable place to relocate US dollars.
