This has been tried previously. It always fails spectacularly. Pinochet destroyed things. Who knows when, or if?, Argentina ever recovers. If you like inflation, you will love Argentina’s which usually exceeds 100% (as high as 200%).

Right now in Russia, some folks fave, potatoes are up 78%.

These same folks, under a different normie president, laid waist to Iraq’s economy and insisted! that Ethiopia end free public education in the interest of the “economy” and ending the country’s “debt.”

Ethiopia used to be one of the most stable, literate countries in freaking human history.
Now, Ethiopia hovers around perpetual civil war, its economy in ruins and many of its people sunk in illiteracy.

Who does this benefit?
Arms manufacturers and the men who always need more!!! like the seagulls in Finding Nemo. The more men are never satisfied. It is a hole of need they are trying to fill with power. That never works.

Just talk of defaulting on the debt can cause the market to crater. Walleye Nov 18 #1
