You can't inflate away government debt, not meaningfully, because it's almost always going to be at a rate higher than inflation by construction.

Yes, but also - they lie about the inflation and force the public to hold the bonds anyway (aka. financial repression, yield curve control).

Exactly. YCC is already happening in Japan; it's inevitable here too. The only alternative is outright default, which never happens when the debt is denominated in currency the debtor can print.
