I actually read at multiple sites that there will be another “package” and our deficit for the year will be between 3.5 and 5 trillion.

We’re gonna run out of paper :)

" But the U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or, today, its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost. By increasing the number of U.S. dollars in circulation, or even by credibly threatening to do so, the U.S. government can also reduce the value of a dollar in terms of goods and services, which is equivalent to raising the prices in dollars of those goods and services. We conclude that, under a paper-money system, a determined government can always generate higher spending and hence positive inflation."-Ben Bernanke

There is an infinite supply of electrons in the universe. We're not gonna run out of trees!
