There are 3 ways to pay off the $39 trillion in US debt.

1. Default
2. Inflation i.e. stealth default
3. Revaluation of gold

I think Trump is looking at #3 very hard. FDR did it.

Even if we sold all the gold it would have a minor impact on the debt.

#4: stop the fraud and see the budget balance. This also defunds communists/Demonrats and so allows other necessary reforms.

#1-3 are patches by comparison- as long as there’s free stuff for the taking no money shuffle will solve the issue.
