Donald Trump warned Tuesday that if the Democrats don’t approve funding, there are dangers to the future of Social Security and Medicare.
Trump said at a press conference that when he asked Democrats for feedback on the funding bills, one said, “It means death.”
“There’s nothing about death,” Trump said. “Theirs is death because they’re going to lose Medicaid, they’re going to lose Social Security, they’re going to lose Medicare, all of those things are going to be gone because the whole country would be bankrupt, and you’re not going to have any kind of medical insurance.”
Issuing bonds is the mechanism by which they do what you’re saying. The US, by law, currently cannot just print more money to pay off it’s debts. It can print money to buy bonds through the market in some convoluted nonsense, but that direct print to debt that your saying isn’t a thing.
