Trump Says Inflation Could Pay Down the Debt ‘Very Rapidly’

President Donald Trump stated that certain levels of inflation could pay down the national debt very rapidly during a sit-down interview with TIME. The remarks contrast sharply with statements from his national economic advisor, who flatly denied that the administration would inflate its way out of debt. Meanwhile, Trump criticized Federal Reserve policies, arguing that higher borrowing costs make it harder to reduce federal debt while calling for U.S. interest rates to be the lowest in the world and claiming Fed Chair Kevin Warsh should have voted against a rate hike.
