Everybody knows this, the government can simply create as much new money as it wants to. The real question is, can the American people afford that?

No, we can't afford shit right now. We went the government to help us out, not see how many fronts we can fuck around on.

We can afford just about all of it, but the ruling class will fight that tooth and nail, because it would strengthen our power as the working class and weaken theirs. Second Thought: Why The Government Has Infinite Money

If only everyone knew this, but our government and think tanks and schools of economics and corporate media seem to work hard to keep it unknown.
