I was just wondering how the US (or any country really) can pull out 100 billion on a given occasion ? Is the treasury just “printing” more money, or are taxes raised? (let’s say 200million Americans are active, that’s still $500 per person) . Or is it just debt passed on to future generations? It goes without saying that I am not fluent in finance
For 2, If you want to get technical it’s not just bonds. The government also issues Treasury Bills and Notes.
For 4 and 5, I would classify both of those as “taxes” but they’re such a small amount individually that they get grouped into a giant “Other” bucket in the general summaries the US government puts out about their revenue.
