"It can however, run out of "cash-on-hand"."

That is true! But as we know, it does not take long to start up those printing presses. Of course that it not a good thing because it simple deflates the value of the dollar. The alternative is of course to borrow more money, and that is perhaps even worse in the long run, depending on where we borrow the money from.

PS. Speaking of money, thanks for delegating the voting power. I shall try and manage it wisely. :)
