Question. What happens if the money does actually run out?
Why don't they declare bankruptcy and start again saving $24 billion a year? Ok, so Euro nations and the local populous would be a bit pissed but medium to long term it could work well?
Capital flight
Bank runs
Social unrest
Rampant inflation
