KC, FDR created the private printing press to pay for WW2. It almost didn't without bonds drives. He made private storing of gold illegal to force people into the federal reserve note.

Then Nixon uncoupled/floated the FR Note from the gold standard to pay our Vietnam action tab.
---The president essentially bypassed congressional spending authority---

These latest catastrophes didn't happen overnight, by accident.
Some people got very rich.
