When you trade at the level that we do, spend at the level that the U.S. government (which, by the way, is our sole enfranchiser, defender, and human rights guarantor), you need other countries to not run a trade deficit with us for decades; you need the money to return from overseas banks (held by certain corporate-communist states and tech corporations which are not competing much, so there is no need to return money to invest).

Morphology
enfranchiser = enfranchise (transparent) = en + franchise + er
Formed by the agentive suffix '-er' from the verb 'enfranchise', yielding 'one who grants rights', which is directly derivable.
Etymology
Enfranchiser comes from en- 'make' plus a root meaning 'free', the same idea you see in franchise and the English word free. So an enfranchiser is someone who 'makes free' or gives important rights, such as the right to vote.
