First of all, that is an amazing name, props! Love Meditations.

I was merely pointing out, in a roundabout fashion, that pretty much all governments print more of their budget than they tax at this point.

In other words, the link between taxation and seignorage is slipping. Governments are just open printing/QE. At least temporarily, this seems to work regardless of tax receipts.

I agree with your argument, but you can substitute "printed out of nothing currency" for "taxes", apparently.

Not that I agree with it, because it will eventually crash.
