Trump: “Just print more money”

Actually, "printing money" can be a very powerful tool in deleveraging debt in certain scenarios.

I would suggest reading the new book: A Template for Understanding Big Debt Crises by Ray Dalio

Much more informative than UPROXX via Vanity Fair magazine.

Is this a book on debt crisis such as that which caused the 2008 crisis? Or on, you know, paying off the national debt? It appears to be the former. And those are very different subjects.
 
so we know this to be true because some guy said it. Show me a video of it and I will believe he said it.

Frankly, there is nothing wrong if he did inquire about such an action. First, it debunks the Dems narrative that Trump doesn't consult his team for ideas for taking on challenges. Two: Printing money IS a tool in deleveraging debt when necessary.

Hey liar herd fan. Telling someone “just run the presses and print cash” is not consulting with his team. You really are a piece of work.

It covers everything related to debt & debt cycles....boom to bust. It explains the policy levers for policymakers during all cycles....good or bad. Its an incredible book for understanding how (national) debt works.

I also question the whole premise of Woodward's story about this "meeting". "Paying off the debt" is something Trump has never done in his own businesses. Why? Because it would have prevented his businesses growth and wealth to $4B. Same for the country's economy. "Paying off the debt" would bring the economy to it's knees. What does Trump have experience with? "Deleveraging and refinancing debt". Which is why, IMO, the context of this meeting is being misrepresented (so the never trumpers get aroused.) if it ever happened at all.

All while your team runs on "fiscal responsibility". Which is bullshit, the same as the other team.

I have no illusion that the national debt can easily and quickly be paid off. I also have no illusion that Trump was savvy to default on his debts (yes, he certainly has) and thus it is a good idea for our government.

On this issue we agree. I really don't think either party is serious about the debt. I am no expert by any means but it seems to me that there must be a tipping point where we are screwed with the total amount of debt
 
but it seems to me that there must be a tipping point

I’m not suggesting there isn’t a tipping point of economic peril if not managed correctly. Just pointing out that there are multiple ways in which the debt can be and is continually handled (despite Marine’s poor understanding).
