“As the sole manufacturer of dollars, whose debt is denominated in dollars, the U.S. government can never become insolvent, i.e. unable to pay its bills. In this sense, the government is not dependent on credit markets to remain operational.”

– St. Louis Fed, in their publication titled “Why Health Care Matters and the Current Debt Does Not”

“The U.S. government is not like a household. It is the issuer of the currency. It doesn’t need to ‘get’ money from anyone else—not from taxpayers, not from China.”

– Stephanie Kelton (economist, former US Senate Budget Committee Chief Economist)
