Chris Larsen asserts that the U.S. government is the world’s largest debtor, citing about $37 trillion of recorded debt plus unspecified "hundreds of trillions" in unfunded liabilities. He argues that inflation is the government’s practical method to reduce the real burden of past debt—because inflation raises nominal tax receipts and allows governments to repay earlier (higher real-value) obligations with today’s lower-value dollars—and advises aligning financial strategy with how the government operates.

$37 trillion

"Hundreds of trillions of dollars" (as stated)

Who's the biggest debtor in the world? It's the US government. Government, 100%. Not only do they have the $37 trillion of on, on record debt, and there's all these unfunded liabilities, so hundreds of trillions of dollars. So what's the, what's the best way for them to get out of that? Well, it's to inflate that away, because as there's inflation, there's more tax revenue, and then you can pay yesterday's deflated dollars away with today, or you can pay those dollars away with today's deflated value. So we just have to make sure we're on the same side of the, of the sheet of paper. We're working in the same way that the government is. Even though I don't like the system, you got to know the system and be on the same side of it.
