Printing has consequences .

Yes , I kind of like the sound of it .

Zimbabwean US dollars

They finally gave up when they had to make the 100 Trillion Dollar bill. It was worth about $150 U.S.

Joking aside .

When the world’s richest man tells you the debt is unsustainable , you’d better listen .

When the world’s richest man , the world’s most powerful bank ( Fed ) and the IMF tell you it’s unsustainable , well , then you’d better worry .

What’s even more farcical is the amount about to be added to the “ already “ unsustainable debt to the tune of 2.5 trillion in 10 days time.

{quote} Maybe you make a very minor point, but you forget the good news. When you have the worlds best deal maker, making everything bigger and better.....you just out run the debt, with a bigger economy. No one will have to pay, not even taxes....just dont look back. What does unsustainable really mean? Everything is sustainable, buy the dip, make more make it great!
Maybe you’re not quite grasping the maths, maybe you are . It’s certainly not a minor point .


US debt dynamics look scary.

Effective policy is critical . The problem for Treasuries is a 3% primary deficit plus 3% interest rate costs exceeds the typical 4.5% GDP expansion. That broadly equates to an ongoing 1.5% increase in the debt/GDP ratio. And this continues forever unless the primary deficit is cut.

You can't outgrow the debt, hence it’s unsustainable.

Found this : Don’t know who said it , maybe someone on this site . “It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt.” “Congress is making America bankrupt “
