> The US must continue printing debt (expanding money supply)

Can't tell if serious, but if you are, holding that kind of short-sighted opinion, you can be sure to be in most excellent historical company.

I mean it's not like currency debasement causes the fall of empires or anything.

I encourage you to read more on how the monetary system works. Debt = more currency for use around the world. We need to continuously increase money supply to keep the dollar from appreciating too much and causing a disastrous level of deflation.

Of course borrowing is not sustainable, but the alternative is not sustainable faster.
