Joe] Manchin [D-WV] saved them from themselves. Inflation is a regressive tax that most hurts the least affluent. Misdirection doesn\u2019t help the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Said Musk: \u201cSo it\u2019s like the government can\u2019t just, you know, issue checks far in excess of revenue without there being inflation, you know, velocity of money held constant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the federal government writes checks, they never bounce. So that is effectively creation of more dollars. And if there are more dollars created, then the increase in the goods and services across the economy, then you have inflation, again, velocity of money held constant,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the government could just issue massive amounts of money and deficits didn\u2019t matter, then, well, why don\u2019t we just make the deficit 100 times bigger? The answer is, you can\u2019t because it will basically turn the dollar into something that is worthless,\u201d Musk added. \u201cVarious countries have tried this experiment multiple times. Have you seen Venezuela? Like the poor, poor people of Venezuela are, you know, have been just run roughshod by their government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
