Essentially no different than what the Weimar Republic did to pay off its WWI debt.

Indeed. It would trigger hyperinflation by throwing $29 trillion or so into the economy over a very short period. But I think at some point they will have no choice. Politicians are not going to deal with the underlying problem.

Article makes a ton of sense, especially on border security.  We all want it - but there is zero chance of Biden implementing it.

Chad Asks US to Cease Operations at Strategic Army Base

(Bloomberg) -- Chad called on the US to withdraw its troops from an army base in the central African country that’s one of the West’s few remaining outposts to fight a roiling jihadist insurgency in the region.

The move comes a month after Niger — another key Western ally in the region — suspended its security agreement with the US, amid a series of coups that have seen military-ruled governments in the Sahel forge closer ties with Russia while cutting those with the West.

Chad has alerted the US “to stop their activity at the base,” according to a letter to the US defense attaché seen by Bloomberg. The letter, signed by the air force chief of staff Idriss Amine Ahmed, was verified by a foreign ministry spokesman, who declined to comment further.
US broadcaster CNN on Thursday reported that Chad had asked US troops to leave the country, citing a separate letter sent to the US defense attaché.

“Chad hasn’t asked US forces to leave,” a US state department spokesman said.  .  .
