alt Hacker NewsThe government can't, and doesn't, make infinite money. Govt debt can't grow to infinity either, so if revenue is not increased, unpredictable and unpleasant events will follow. However, the taxation issue is so hopelessly misrepresented and misunderstood that I'm not going to discuss it here.
That’s not what I’m saying. If the implication is that hard drives of all things are being manipulated to make unlimited amounts of money, then the government could just do the same thing and earn that money for the public instead.
