It may sound redundant if the immediate consequences are the same, but suitable terms are needed that are unambiguous.
I wrote nothing else :cool:

The last hyperinflation in the early 1930s plunged the world into World War II, and it started from relatively small Germany. What happens when the nation with the largest armed forces in the world falls into chaos... one would rather not imagine...
And printing money is not so simple either, because China and others are creditors of the USA. They will not accept it if the USA prints worthless trillions of dollars to pay off the loans. Unfortunately, you imagine the world a bit too simply, dear HoppelHoppel...
Theoretically yes. But problematic, sinceAs you wish. @nordanney, right?
that is very likely to happen. Because the USA does not "print" $. The Fed can buy government bonds and thus bring book money into the financial system. Consequence: more and more money, no real goods in return. Inflation up to hyperinflation possible. Or it can lend money to banks for further lending. Further consequences: loss of confidence in the USA and $. Flight from $, crashing $ exchange rate, sharply rising interest rates in the USA, as investors then demand payment for the enormous risk, and this causes the national debt to rise further and start over again – vicious circle. Oh yes, you can currently watch the further consequences in reality. Because exactly that is happening right now. Although not due to money printing, but because of politics.The worst that can happen would be hyperinflation, right?
