Banks create money with loans. Wouldn’t mass bankruptcies would kill the money supply and curb inflation without the federal reserve. Just a thought

Once the money is created by the debt instrument it is persistent and keeps on even if the originating instrument failed.

It's insidious.

Bankruptcy laws eliminate the debt completely except for student loans.

I have always found this very odd.

Same here. It should all be wiped out

Didn't realize I wasn't following you.

Followed you as well 🤝

Banks have infinite ammo.

Better to remove your money from them entirely. That’s how you make them go broke.

This is a longer discussion, but bankruptcy would have been a much better tool then massively increasing monetary supply. As you say, the opposite of inflationary. Many of the companies that received the printed money in the form of PPP or EIDL loans are now back in my office for bankruptcy. Also, in many instances the SBA is chasing my clients after making a determination that they made some type of technical error in their grant application.

The more they paper over the problem, the worse it gets. We are in for a wild ride that’s for sure.
