I wish were the government who paid, the citizens are the ones paying the government debts.
If a big economy like the US is going to default on their debts, who is taking the loss AND survives??? #asknostr

Is "the government" paying it, or are you?

From Brave AI Characteristics of Fiscal Dominance Fiscal dominance refers to a situation where a country’s fiscal policies, particularly its debt and deficit levels, become so significant that they override the effectiveness of monetary policy in controlling inflation. In other words, when a government’s debt exceeds a certain threshold, it can no longer rely solely on monetary policy (interest rates and money supply) to manage inflation, as the central bank’s actions become less potent.
