US Treasury Secretary Yellen Believes US Can Afford Wars Despite High Debt
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen believes the United States can afford to finance more foreign wars, such as those in Ukraine and Israel, despite high inflation and skyrocketing debt levels. Yellen suggests that the funds for these wars will be printed and added to the growing national debt, which is a consequence of the fiat money system. This highlights how fiat money makes wars seemingly affordable, unlike under a gold standard where economic constraints existed.
