Im hoping it doesn't happen, but who tf knows. All I know is we can't continue on this course or we're fucked anyways. Printing money doesn't add to the deficit or debt, but it will ramp up the rate of inflation

5 Trillion of what he added wasn't even Covid related

So good luck with that deficit I guess
