The government accounted for almost all of the headline gains, with 43K of 49K jobs, or 88% of all.

This won't last long. Neither will $4 trillion annual budget deficits.

At this rate whoever becomes President in January 2025 will inherit a $50 trillion national debt. Suppose the interest rate due to inflation rose to 10%. That would add $5 trillion to our annual $4 trillion budget deficit.

That assumes we last that long.

It's one silver lining to Trump losing. He won't be blamed for the crash of the dollar that has a good chance of happening within the next 4 years.

Not that Trump was fiscally responsible. Addressing the debt is something he completely failed to do on his term.

If we had Lincoln's Greenbacks, there would be no national debt.

As I understand it, the LG's would just have been the fed gov printing money. Sure it cuts out the fed reserve and incurred debt, but it just replaces it with inflation, as happened pre-1789 with colonial money.

No inflation if you increase the money supply at the same rate as GDP.

We can spend the increase in Money Supply into circulation as opposed to taxing them to death.

That is true but it also requires fiscal discipline which govs as a rule do not possess.

That's always been my understanding, too. But then, I'm not a money man.
