Several weeks ago, I commented on the $30 trillion dollars ($30 million million dollars printed out of THIN air) of new debt which has been created since the nadir of the Global Financial Crisis in late 2008.

Printing money doesn't create debt.

false government inflation statistics hide the theft from the public (see www.shadowstats.com).

If anyone knows fake stats, it's the guy who charges suckers to create them.

No it creates inflation, which is helpful in paying off debt.

Thanks to Woodrow Wilson, every US federal reserve note (dollar) in circulation represents a debt owed by the govt of the US to the federal reserve banking system. Therefore, Money = Debt and, hence, Creating money = Creating debt.

Wrong.
When the Fed prints money it buys US Treasuries with the made up money to cover the issue. Those treasuries eventually have to be payed back by us tax payers. That’s debt.
