I agree though the easiest answer is to go back to a gold/silver standard which the U.S. used fine until the 70’s.
That would drive the price of gold up to $15-20k. The entire system would be “shocked” if that happened. And our reliance on debt would seize up government spending. And that would would seize up the economy.
When you look at the options, the usual “out” for our situation is a war.
