      Anyway suppose you adopt seignorage and are generating inflation at say a nice 50% annual rate This means that the price of things will double in less than two years Are you signing a contract? Better figure out how to account for that Hope you can do that math in your head

      All of this is a pain in the ass but possibly manageable if the government does a perfect job of keeping inflation at a stable rate Hahahahaha yeah I don't think it would either Anyway good luckpic.twitter.com/8IjgzFNh9Y

      The US Fed has more experience and more success and more determination to control inflation than any other monetary authority in the history of the universe. It's gonna be okay. Not great. Nothing will be great, not for a while. But okay.

      the original question was “why not use inflation instead of taxation”

      Replying to @raptros_ @eigenrobot

      Using (monetary) inflation instead of taxation is exactly what we're doing (as I understand it), and it runs the risk of (price) inflation. Monetary inflation doesn't automatically lead to price inflation. It TENDS to, but it might not. The Fed will do its best to make it not.

      ... but yeah, I see the original idiots were talking about no taxes for anything ever, whereas I'm addressing the Current Unusual Circumstances. Right. Yes. My apologies. Quite right, carry on.

      I'm not worried about FRBS in the current environment, in practice they're still just slowing deflation is my guess Also they're still buying auctioned bonds afaik not buying them direct from USG Latter might get spooky
