I really read things like that in my youth. The idea of Uncle Sam repudiating his debt does not frighten me. I first said it would happen in 1980. It will happen. It's called hyperinflation. “Thinking About the Unthinkable”, 1962 by Herman Kahn. I really read things like that in my youth. The idea of Uncle Sam repudiating his debt does not frighten me.
