That’s it, exactly. The federal government will not default on its debt. So the only other option is…well, what you said.

I just wonder if they’ll try some confiscatory schemes first. Like perhaps raising taxes sky high. Or maybe seizing tax-advantaged retirement accounts, and replacing them with worthless IOU’s.

The answer is simple.


Print NEW money to pay off the OLD debt.
