Good point. If we can just print money endlessly, as MMT suggests, why even issue bonds? Just create an agency with a bottomless bank account to transfer funds to all creditors. We could cancel all of the national debt in a few keystrokes.

He discussed "trophy wives" for a few minutes at his West Point commencement speech today.

That is neither my point nor what MMT suggests, but I am mostly sure you know that.
