What budget? these tards keep printing money and still spend more than that.
Strictly speaking, the US doesn't pay its bills by printing cash- we wouldn't have gotten this far if they did. What they do is borrow money from people "investing" in US Savings Bonds. So as long as the accounting ledgers insist that this debt owed is an "asset" and as long as we can still pay interest on what we owe, the train will keep rolling. And when we can't anymore? Actually, printing money might be the answer: pay the debt owed in now nearly-worthless dollars. It worked for the Founders after the Revolution.
