Another empty threat by the fed.

How did Germany get out of the printed money debacle? Trump could go there. He likes war.

[fjlip]

Wasn't Germany out of the hyper inflation well before the war?
Haven't we all heard that countries OWE each other and the debt is largely bookkeeping?
IF not who the f*ck does everybody owe to? Like to know that trillionaire!
"They" only want the interest, never want to be repaid.
