Because it hasn't fallen yet. It will. The Federal Reserve is insolvent. As the dollar falls from global usage, it can't buy all the real assets necessary to stabilize the dollar using printed money that no one wants.

Quantitative easing is not money printing, and the Federal Reserve pays about 100 billion dollars in profit annually to the US Treasury.
