With covid-19, the U.S. Congress is really hammering the Cosmic Credit Card.

The deficit and the debt seem to be Really Big Numbers, existing in a scope outside of economic reality.

One has the impression that this is not an economic perpetual motion machine.

Maybe covid-19 could sink the USD and usher in a new economic phase.

But seems unlikely, and there further seems zero political will to do anything more sane fiscally.
