How about if it is paid for in "weak" dollars? So essentially it's dollar inflation for foreigners that doesn't directly impact the US economy. Currently I'm not aware of anyone screaming "Runaway inflation!!!" in the US economy.

And what exactly does that have to do with anything that I said here?
You sound like those economy "experts" who pretend that our massive national deficit, our yearly budget deficits, the loss of our manufacturing base, and the billions of our dollars flowing off to foreign nations per our trade imbalance are all of little or no consequence. That's so damn stupid that it should require confinement.
