There are two ways to create dollars and two ways to destroy dollars:

Create Dollars:

I. Lend dollars
II. Federal deficit spending

Destroy Dollars:

I. Pay off a loan
II. Federal taxation

mythfighter.com/2018/07/06/do-… Lending creates dollars. When a loan is supported by a loan document owned by the lender, the loan document is money. Like a dollar bill, it represents dollars owned by the lender, while the borrower receives new dollars. That is the difference between a loan and a payment.

Yet another article that relies on you being ignorant about federal finances and Social Security
mythfighter.com/2018/03/11/yet… Let us begin with three, very simple, related facts:

1. It is 100% impossible for the U.S. federal government to run short of dollars unless the President and Congress want it to.

The U.S. federal government always spends dollars it doesn’t have, simply because, being Monetarily Sovereign, it creates dollars, ad hoc, by spending dollars. Spending, or more specifically, paying bills is the federal government’s money-creation method. (Anyone who believes the government spends dollars it has, is welcome to tell us how many dollars the U.S. Treasury has. You might be surprised at not being able to find an answer. But why would a government need to have dollars, if it can create dollars, endlessly?)
