No problem. Just print more money.
We critically need more aircraft carriers, F-35s, money for "struggling families" (illegals) etc.

We’re in a real bad place, now. It won’t go or end well, for us.

The US government will need to sell about $10 trillion in bonds in 2024. There won't be nearly enough buyers on the open market to purchase all those bonds. In 2024, we'll reach a point that the Federal Reserve must fund day-to-day operations of the US government with printed money. US inflation problems have only just begun.

Hyperinflation sooner rather than later. Loaf of bread, $25.
No problem. Carbs aren’t that good for you anyway.

Of course, we might also crash and endure a deflationary depression. Hard to tell which one we’ll get. But the normal, prosperous times are probably gonna be history.

More money we pay ourselves! The Federal Reserve will purchase Treasuries, collect the interest and pay the interest back to the us treasury. That’s how a liberal explained it to me.

Interest on the National Debt is now over one trillion dollars. I can still remember a time when the entire federal budget was less than that.

yup, one way or another, the hundred trillion (in year 2000 dollars) of unfunded liabilities will melt away as those dollars become worthless
