I guess I'm dumber than a 14 month old toddler. If we print enough dollars to pay off the debt in what we're calling "the largest monetary debasement event in history", doesn't the printing (borrowing) of that money just create yet another loan on which even a greater interest payment will be owed?
Unless we can somehow generate enough in tariffs, it seems that defaulting on the debt is the only way out. Am I wrong?
