Why doesn’t the US end all income tax? Fiat money is just printed and there’s no need for the fed if the treasury can print the money too. Why not just eliminate income tax to draw in corporations and high net worth citizens? It would create more jobs and bring in more $.

All money is created digitally by private banks issuing loans (NOT government). Private banks create new, digital money AFTER the borrower signs the loan contract. The entire money supply is created this way- by PRIVATE BANKS.

OP is on to something: If we return to a debt-free, interest free money system, there would be no need for the national debt, interest payments on the debt, or income tax to service the national debt.

To accomplish this, we would need to zero-out ALL bank debts (all credit cards, auto loans, home mortgages, business debts, and government debts). Then simultaneously convert the existing money supply (Approximately $22 Trillion) to a debt-free, interest-free money (silver coins, US Notes, Greenbacks, etc.).

FX is a relative rates trade. If the US decided to go to negative interest rates and print QE infinity the DXY would lose value relative to other currencies. If the DXY cannot be defended it is at risk of losing reserve currency status.

Furthermore, this "experiment" you postulated has literally already been tried. It's called COVID-19. No bills, free stimulus checks, essentially no taxes, QE infinity, zero rates. Result: Inflation

>who cares inflation

Lose control of inflation and the US goes insolvent. Bond yields input inflation expectations into their calculation. If you refuse to respect or address inflation nobody will buy your treasuries at dogshit rates below the pace of inflation (You won't fund any new debt). Yields will rise to a level where the government literally cannot service the interest on the debt it owes. Bankrupt.

Lowering the Fed funds rate and QE implementation have the same effect; significantly loosening financial conditions. Increasing bank reserves and making it easier for banks to lend more money act as the same mechanism with a different name. Hiking rates and QT have the same effect; significantly tightening financial conditions. They are the same. If your next response to me is sub 85 IQ again I will not respond.

The Fed has a number of things it can do to lower inflation:

1. Increase the Fed Funds rate, increasing the cost of credit
2. Reduce the balance sheet, decreasing liquidity and bank reserves
3. Sell MBS and put downward pressure on housing (Shelter, 33% of CPI)
4. Reduce demand via the wealth effect
5. Reduce demand via demand destruction

>You’re wrong about lower rates causing higher inflation too.

If you lower rates while every other central bank is tightening, you will 100% cause inflation in dollar terms. We are literally seeing the opposite effect of this right now. The US has a higher inflation rate than a number of other developed economies, because their response to COVID was much looser. Compare to Japan and China who are literally still holding a 2 handle on their inflation. When you loosen monetary/financial conditions, you create the environment for inflation.

If you want to argue if the current inflation is secular or not is an entirely different debate. The most relevant takeaway is that lower rates 100% have an effect on inflation, either exacerbating it or building the conditions for it to exist. You can't look at 20 years of deglobalization with China literally exporting deflation to the world and say, "look we can print forever!!!". Correlation /= causation. Would you argue lower rates would have no impact on inflation in a de-globalized world? I'd hope not.

Government doesn't create any money, and the Fractional Reserve/money multiplier model is completely fake.

ALL money is created digitally by private banks issuing loans. Banks create new money AFTER the borrower signs the loan contract. Banks create new digital money with no need for prior reserves or deposits. The entire money system is created this way.

Private banks create all money, NOT government.

Banks create new, digital money when they lend. This money did not exist until the borrower signed the promissory note. The entire money supply is created this way.

Richard Werner proved this empirically in 2014.
