How are we paying for COVID?
Current money printing is approaching $16 trillion. That’s more than the US spent in its 13 most expensive wars combined. I use wars because they’re the most expensive things I can think of. Money printing for Quantitative Easing (QE) appears to have worked, so the plan is to load on a bunch more paper money.
Is there no limit? COVID spending is approaching $6 trillion so far. Poking the inflation bear is bringing inflation that will burst current stock and bond market bubbles that rely on zero interest rates to stay inflated.
