Don't worry, when things get real bad we can always just print more money.

You start to have problems when your creditors are inflation / currency risk hedged. Who do you think is writing those contracts? Maybe some overexposed US Investment Banks? Maybe some non-US Banks with enough global political capital to send us to the shitter. Let's hope maybe we can avoid the printing press (May be no possible, but no panacea here)

What is even more frightening is to hit F5 a few times and watch how it goes up.

Heheh, I was kidding. Printing money when we run out would be about the worst thing we could possibly do.

But that's exactly what they do, and they just did it again when the oil prices went up - go Georgie.
