Am I missing something here? Can't the US simply print 20 trillion dollars all at once and pay off the debt in one day? If you're worried about the inflation problem, I have a solution. Americans have a combined net worth of 63 trillion dollars. So, the government prints up 650 sextillion dollars in one day in secret. They instantly send out 20 trillion to pay off the debt and give everyone a check for 1,000,000 times what their net worth is. This would minimize the effect of the 20 trillion dollars on the ratio of net worth to inflationary loss.
