It only takes 29 monthly installments of just 120 billion dollars to pay it off.

Stocks have set record after record this year thanks in large part to the Federal Reserve’s massive efforts to prop up the economy and financial markets.... the economy has met one big milestone the central bank had set to slow the $120 billion in bond purchases it's making each month.

See? All paid before it's even spent.

    Republican reification of fiat currency continues unabated! It's not your money, Fistula! It is not anybody's money! It's kind like Bitcoin, an artificial construct with temporary human entities assigned to its units. So we cannot "run out" of money, and all that can happen at the individual level is that everyone else decides to take you off the register, so you are not allowed to exchange goods and services any longer.
