39 trillion in debt with no Congressional stomach for...

- spending cuts

- stopping fraud

- figuring out how the net worth of people in Congress increases from hundreds of thousands of dollars to 10s or 100s of millions of dollars

- addressing wasteful and ineffective programs

Given those issues, the only solution will be inflation. The circling the drain moment will hit with the associated welfare programs get a direct staple to inflation itself, so we will spend more to combat inflation, causing more inflation faster.

It's not going to be fun.
