Why not just issue a bond for $20 trillion, payable with no interest in 10,000 years? Our monetary system is fake anyway.

We'll continue to print and spend and pretend our money has value because no one on the planet will challenge this notion. Because none of them want to risk starving to death in the New Stone Age.
