What does God say about worrying about money?

You cannot serve both God and Money. Mark 4:19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. Proverbs 23:4-5 Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness.

Do you think the US owes money to anyone?

The answer to the question is, “we” don’t owe it to anyone, at least not in the way most people think about debt – as some amount of money that must be repaid in full over some period of time. The US government repays 100’s of trillions of dollars of “debt” each year without a problem because repayment isn’t the problem.

What happens if the government can’t pay the debt?

Fiat currencies are not backed by anything but ‘faith’ in the government. If the government is unable to repay the debt, it will have to ‘print’ money. Money printing leads to inflation, which ultimately (albeit slowly) transfers wealth away from the saver to the borrower.

Why do countries print money to repay debt?

Countries which control their own currency, such as the US, can print money to repay debt. In the process, they improve their competitiveness by being able to produce goods relatively cheaper. Of course, this has to be managed very carefully to avoid the currency going into the debasement death spiral.
