In this video, I discuss the complications involved if the US government were to cancel some of its own debt, as part of a debt jubilee.

A US Treasury (government bond) is a liability of the US federal government, but it is an asset for those who hold them-- and that includes a lot of retirees and pension plans.

If you cancel the debt, you are basically stealing from ordinary people who have put their retirement savings into Treasuries.

Governments and their politicians will always choose instead to have the debt monetized by the central bank. If there is too much debt and not enough buyers, central banks will step in with printed money to buy the bonds.

This devalues the currency over time and destroys purchasing power, but it is a form of silent theft that doesn't get politicians thrown out of office in the same way that a default would.

Markets are rallying strongly after the Fed emergency meeting yesterday, suggesting that something more substantial than debit cards was discussed at the meeting.
