El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, a proponent of Bitcoin, questioned the sustainability of the U.S. government's monetary policy, specifically its ability to print money indefinitely. During a speech at CPAC, he suggested that the U.S. finances itself through Treasury bonds bought by the Federal Reserve, which prints money for this purpose. Bukele argued that taxes are collected to maintain the illusion of public funding for the government. His comments come amid criticism of his governance and his support for Bitcoin as legal tender in El Salvador.
