I don't see how you can be as old as you are and still not know basic monetary and fiscal policy. PROTIP: deficits are financed by the auction of bonds, not printed money.
everything dept+international we need money for, we print for.
our trillion dollar bailout to Europe we just did was all printed.
when we make international payments to our foreign holders, we always print.
why else do you think we are forcing the world as best we can to remain on the USD for trading?
thats the scam. and its not even a secret, we are very open about it.
US citizens are not buying these bonds you speak of.
