Can a government that borrows exclusively in its own fiat currency involuntarily go bankrupt (i.e., inability to pay back debt)? Explain your answer.
please help!!

Answer:

If there's one article of faith in Washington (and elsewhere), it's the idea that the United States might get into a debt crisis if it doesn't get its fiscal house in order.

This is not true.

The reason why it's not true is because we live in a fiat currency system, where the United States government can create an infinite number of dollars at no cost to meet its obligations. A Treasury bill is a promise that the government will give you US dollars--something that the United States government can produce infinitely and at no cost.

That's the reason why interest rates on United States debt have only gone down even as the debt has ballooned. That's the reason why Great Britain has very low rates on its debt despite having very high debt-to-GDP. That's the reason why Japan has an astounding debt-to-GDP ratio and still enjoys some of the lowest rates ever. Investors have bet for so long that there would be a run on Japanese debt and have ended up so ruined that in financial circles that trade is called "the Widowmaker". (Here's a more detailed analysis by my former colleague Joe Weisenthal at Business Insider.)

Well, what about Argentina? Argentina had to default on its debt because it had pegged its currency to the US dollar. It wasn't sovereign with regard to its currency since it had to maintain its currency's peg. It wasn't Argentina's debt that caused it to default, it was its currency peg.

What about Greece? Same thing. Greece hasn't used its own currency for ten years. Of course it's going bankrupt.

You don't have to take my word for it. How about Alan Greenspan? He said (PDF): "[A] government cannot become insolvent with respect to obligations in its own currency. A fiat money system, like the ones we have today, can produce such claims without limit."

After all it's already common knowledge among economists, Fed officials, and an increasing number of sophisticated investors.

Maybe so, but it's still not common knowledge among politicians and among the general public. A lot of people still think that the US is under some risk of one day becoming like Greece, and it's distorting our public debate.

It's especially distorting it on the Right, where hysteria about deficits, and debt, and becoming like Greece has reached a fever pitch. Paul Ryan, especially, has framed his entire message on entitlement-cutting on the flawed premise that the US needs to cut its entitlement or it will suffer a debt crisis. This message, in turn, has infected broad swathes of the conservative movement (including very smart people in it), a movement that I consider myself a member of and want to see in strong intellectual health. But very few liberals--certainly no Democratic elected officials that I'm aware of, certainly not the President and the Vice President--are disputing the premise that the US is in any danger of a debt crisis.

In future posts, I will try to look at what the conservative movement can do to move past the idea of the debt crisis, and what it means.

Alternate EXTERIOR angles are angles located the exterior of the parallel lines and on opposite sides of the transversal . Is a pair of alterate exterior angles supplementary angles or congruent angles?

Is (-5, -5) a solution of y> - 2x +4?

helpp this is characteristics of quadratic functions

always, sometimes, or never.
in an isosceles right triangle, the ratio of the measure of the angles is 1:1:2
