"As noted, the most expedient way for a government to deal with debt and defense spending pressures is inflation. Maintaining nominal (current-dollar) GDP — essentially the economy's top line — generates revenue for taxes to pay debt-service expenses. Suppressing real interest rates further helps make the debt less burdensome. The combination is referred to as financial repression, which is essentially a polite term for screwing bond investors who get stuck with negative returns."
