How is the United States able to give billions to other countries when we are trillions in debt and how does it get approved?
In: Economics
They spend more than they make, and the federal reserve monetizes the debt that the US makes, so our money goes down in value.
It gets approved, because congresspeople don’t really care about the long term effects as much as their pet projects being funded. This is an example of a commons problem.
